My name is Travis A. Cunningham, I am 19 years old, and was born and raised in Warren, PA. I started the Scouting program as a Tiger Cub in the fall of 1998. I earned my Arrow of Light and crossed over into Boy Scout Troop 22 where I received my Tenderfoot and Second Class ranks before transferring to Troop 8, my current troop. I earned my Eagle Scout rank in 2008.
In the spring of 2005, I was inducted into the Gyantwachia Lodge of the Chief Cornplanter Council. One year later I sealed my membership by becoming a Brotherhood member. Since that time I have served on the ceremonies and dance team, activities committee, as high adventure chairman, lodge vice chief and two terms as lodge chief. In the fall of 2008 I received the Vigil Honor; my Indian name translates as Gray Fox Running. I was elected Section Chief in the spring 2009 where I served two terms until I was elected Northeast Region Chief in December of 2010. I have attended ArrowCorps5, NCLS, SOS, OA Trail Crew, OA Canadian Odyssey, and OA Ocean Adventure. I have also served on numerous NLS staffs and was a member of the Indian Village staff at the 2010 National Jamboree.
Outside of Scouting I love to backpack, rock-climb, and kayak. I am currently attending the Pennsylvania State University where I am majoring in Wildlife and Fisheries Science. At Penn State I am a brother of Tau Phi Delta, which is a fraternity for those who love hunting and fishing or just being in the outdoors. I am also a member of the Penn State Woodsmen’s Team where I compete in lumberjack competitions. I am truly excited about Indian Summer, and I look forward to meeting all of you! If you want to know more about me just come and find me, I'll be around.
