SCOUTING: A PROFESSION WITH A PURPOSE

Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America have helped change lives and build future leaders by combining educational activities and the teaching of lifelong values with outdoor adventure and fun! Our local council, Crossroads of America Council, serves our members through multiple programs for young people ages 6 to 20.

DISTRICT EXECUTIVE

We are seeking an energetic and self-motivated individual to serve as District Executive to promote Scouting programs in east central Indiana, including Fayette, Franklin, Rush, Shelby, Union, Wayne and southern Randolph counties.

FUN WITH A PURPOSE

Does this sound like work - share a meal with a community leader; learn from a business executive; visit a volunteer at summer camp; or go to an elementary school to talk with kids about becoming Scouts? Whatever your day looks like, we can guarantee it will include a lot of fun! If you are driven by hard work and rewarded by having fun and making a difference, becoming a District Executive might be for you!
