 District Executive

Have you thought about being an executive with the Boy Scouts of America?

"A Career Where Character Counts!"  The purpose of the Boy Scouts of America--incorporated on February 8, 1910, and chartered by Congress in 1916--is to provide an educational program for boys and young adults to build character, to train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and to develop personal fitness.  In this age where the realities of life are all but lost in a muddle of headline-rattling happenings, we feel there are areas where one can do little things to help guide the thinking and action of the young people who will inherit the future.

What do professionals in Scouting do?

The job of the Scouting professional is to inspire, recruit, train, and support dedicated volunteers in their work with youth members. The professional Scouter must be people-oriented.  Professional Scouters are thought of as professional youth workers, even though they seldom work directly with youth. Their role is to encourage community organizations to do their own youth work. Professional Scouters work through adult volunteers who deliver the program of Scouting to the youth members.

Public relations and fund-raising administration are vital additional functions.
