Erin Gagabuan (Miss Erin) serves as Cubmaster of Pack 89, which basically means she supports the Scouts, their families, and the leaders who guide them…and, according to some unwritten clause somewhere, she’s also required to be a little obnoxious for the Scouts’ entertainment. She grew up right here in the district and graduated from EP High School in 2008, never imagining she’d one day be herding small humans with clipboards, campfires, and controlled chaos along with her husband Rey.
Her Scouting journey began in 2023 when her oldest son, Felix, joined as a Wolf. Now she has two Scouts in the Pack (Felix and JP) with a third, Micah, eagerly waiting for his turn.
Her favorite point of the Scout Law is Brave. Not the dramatic, dragon-slaying kind, but the quieter courage of trying something new or standing up for yourself. Those fluttery “uh-oh” butterflies in your stomach? That’s bravery stretching its legs.
Outside the Pack, she teaches a lively class of two-year-olds, reads whenever she gets a chance, and sneaks in crafts like crocheting and cross-stitch when the stars align. Her favorite animal is the wolf: smart, loyal, protective, and family-oriented…all qualities she tries to bring to the Pack.
One of her favorite chaotic memories so far? A twilight camp water balloon battle, Scouts versus adults, where the Scouts clearly demonstrated their affection by soaking her from head to socks. Totally drenched. Zero regrets.
Looking ahead, she hopes the Scouts remember the friendships they built and the lessons they shared in Pack 89. And maybe, just maybe, ten years from now, in a tough moment, they’ll pause and think, “Once, my Pack Leader said…” and feel a little braver, a little steadier, and a little more ready for whatever comes next.
