Roger Thomas II, “Do-It-All Dad”

Roger Thomas has been a pillar of support for his daughter, Ryleigh’s Girl Scout journey from day one. After raising four older sons and helping them achieve great things as Boys Scouts, Thomas and his wife, Tauleece made sure their daughter always felt that her scouting journey was just as important as her brothers’. As the Troop Cookie Manager for 13 years, Thomas has actively participated in every step of his daughter's scouting adventure. From accompanying her to shooting sports certifications and sailing trainings to ensuring her safety during international trips, this devoted dad has shown that being a "Do-It-All Dad" means being there every step of the way. Thomas is the epitome of a Girl Scout dad who truly believes in the value of Girl Scouting. The Thomas family resides in the Humble/Kingwood area.

"Our daughter’s Girl Scout experience has been so enriched and uniquely special because of her dad, my husband. He has made it a priority to actively embark on this journey alongside her, rather than simply observing from the sidelines,” commented Tauleece Thomas, Girl Scout mom and Houston attorney.
