OUR HISTORY

SCOUTING TODAY

Our council is led by volunteers and supported by staff. The top position is our council president, who leads our 30 member board of directors and is selected through a nominating committee process and elected to serve a two-year term. The president and board hire the Scout Executive, who guides and manages our council employees. Rounding out our top leadership team is the council commissioner, appointed by the board, who directs the volunteers that work directly with leaders of Scouting groups to help them succeed.

To effectively administer Scouting, our council is divided into 4 geographic districts along school district boundaries. Each has a volunteer district commissioner who directs the unit commissioners and a membership chair and committee, all supported by a district executive – a staff member serving the assigned territory.
