An Interview with Chris Donat
By K.G. Bohlman, Troop 5 Historian
Chris Donat became Troop 5’s Scout Master Jan. 1, 2022.
After watching Roger Brauchli, the Troop’s longest-serving Scout Master, he wanted to make sure he could make a big impact on the Troop like Roger did.
Mr. Donat became involved in Boy Scouts because his son Cole, who is an Eagle Scout, was involved in Troop 5.
Cole eventually became a Senior Patrol Leader.
Cole’s brother, Henry, is the current Senior Patrol Leader.
Mr. Donat has been to Philmont Scout Ranch and the U.S. Virgin Islands (‘High Adventure’ trips) once.
In 2016 he became an Assistant Scout Master.
He was a Cub Master before that, with Maplewood’s Pack 19.
Mr. Donat’s favorite part has been attending summer camp, doing all the activities and spending time with all the people.
His favorite high adventure trip has been Philmont, though he did like USVI as well.
His favorite camping trip is the Long Beach Island trip, although he does love the Mohawk Mountain ski trip as well.
I just know that he will look forward to the memories he will make as a Scout Master.
