Daniel Whitten is one of the Wolf Leaders for the 2023-2024 school year. He and Robert Estes have made a great co-leading team over the last few years.

Daniel’s grandfather was a part of the first generation of Scouts in the US. His longtime involvement in the organization is part of what influenced Daniel into joining Cub Scouts as a youth and eventually achieving the Eagle scout rank. He developed many lifelong friends and memories along the way, and the experience had an enormous impact in shaping him into who he is today.

Daniel is a serial hobbyist, his favorites include woodworking, canoeing, history, Lego, antiquing and restoration. When he is not in the garage, he can be found immersed in episodes of Star Trek or Cheers.

Daniel has a long path of scouting ahead with his three children. His oldest son Emmett joined as a Lion in 2021 and is now a Wolf. His second son, Julian, is currently a Lion, and his daughter, Violet, impatiently waits on the sidelines.

His favorite part about scouting is watching the kids learn to work together. His goal is to help give back to the organization that provided him with so many opportunities as a youth.

Hello Pack 8 family and friends, My name is Seth Walley. I am the current Cubmaster for Pack 8. I have been with Pack 8 since August 2018. I started as an Assistant Den Leader turned Den Leader the same year. I stayed on as a Den Leader with my son until he Bridged in 2022, the same year my daughter joined the pack as a Lion. The next fall I became the Assistant Cubmaster, preparing to step up as Cubmaster as our previous Cubmaster followed his children out of the pack and to the troop. In January 2023, I assumed the role as Cubmaster and look forward to guiding Pack 8 going forward.

I started Scouting in Arizona when I was a Tiger Scout. I made it to Wolf Scout before I moved to Missouri. At the time, there were no BSA units where I lived in Missouri. When I turned 11, I helped form a new troop with a few friends, Troop 94 out Blue Eye, MO. I did a Philmont Trek with the Missouri Troop 94 in 2001. Later that year I moved to Alabama. Here I found another Troop 94. (I didn’t have to change much on my uniform!) I earned my Eagle in 2004 when I turned 18. Around 2003 (or perhaps 2004) some friends and I started a Venture Crew, Crew 94. I did venture crew for a few years but left around 2006. In 2010, I joined the military where I served as an Artilleryman in the Army for 8 years. I lived at Fort Lewis, Washington and Fort Hood, Texas. I did one tour to Afghanistan and one to Kuwait and Iraq. My family and I returned to Alabama after I left the army in 2018, and began looking for a Pack my son could join. We found Pack 8 just as the Pack was going on summer break. We did a few things over the summer with them and joined in August 2018. Now, I am a part of four different units, Cubmaster for Pack 8, ASM for Troops 94 and 95, and Mate for Sea Scout Ship 999 (of which I am a founding member).
