District Executive - Open until filled
Position Overview
Since 1910, Scouting has helped mold the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes and understands that helping youth puts us on a path towards a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
Today’s professional Scouters are a diverse group of men and women sharing a dynamic career offering independence, achievement, and stability. This is work that makes a difference, work that calls one to continual learning and challenge, work that offers solid compensation, benefits, and advancement.
Our professionals develop and use skills in management, sales, public relations, and fundraising. Although they spend their share of hours behind a desk, a lot more time is spent in the field checking out the action in their service areas, making sure that goals are set, and objectives are met. You will be evaluated by accomplishments and goals reached, not time spent in a cubicle.
