Eagle Scout Steve Dubois is now entering his 35th year with Troop 85 and his 21st as Scoutmaster. Mr. Dubois is commonly known to everyone - including the youth - as just “Steve.” He is an exhibiting painter, music composer, professional graphic artist, and an excellent astronomer. He currently resides in Williamsville, New York.

Scoutmaster Steve is Wood Badge trained (the only vigorous, uniform adult leader training internationally) and has been awarded the Scouter Leader's Award of Merit, Training Award, Scouter's Key, District Award of Merit and the Silver Beaver. He has also served on two Wood Badge staffs and is a James E. West Fellow. In 2011, Steve was named one of the Top 50 Scoutmasters in the nation and attended the National Conference of the BSA in San Diego. Regarded by the Greater Niagara Frontier Council as a valuable asset to the Scouting organization, Troop 85 is thankful and honored to have him as the Scoutmaster.

Ryan Fields is a lifelong outdoor enthusiast and camper. Though Ryan was never a boy scout he has embraced many of the principles that embody the scout law and tries to model the behavior of the scout oath and motto for the members of Troop 85. Beyond his duties as an Assistant Scoutmaster, Ryan also helps with fundraising activities for the troop. 

Ryan’s hobbies include watching films, bird watching, hiking, writing, carpentry, and reading. He is a football fan and father of two.
