Leadership positions include serving as patrol leader of the Wolverines and troop guide. In 2017, he became an Ordeal member in the Order of the Arrow, the national honor society of Scouting, at Alibamu Lodge 179. One of the highlights of Grate’s Scouting adventures was exploring the Florida Keys at BSA Sea Base in Summerland Key, Florida.
