District Executive

Join the executive staff of Scouting America and serve our community. The successful candidate will help increase the council’s membership, financial resources, and programs. District Executives have the responsibility for working with volunteer committees and community leaders to identify, recruit, train, guide, and inspire them to become involved in youth programs.
 
This is work that makes a difference, work that calls one to continual learning and challenge, work that offers solid compensation, benefits, and advancement.  Prior scouting experience may help a person accelerate the job understanding but will not hinder a person from being successful.
