President’ s Corner

Hello Central Region! Once again, a new term has started and I could not be more excited. Summer is here and now is the perfect time for summer Scouting trips. As the Central Region Venturing President, I want to introduce myself a little bit better. I call Ballwin, Missouri my home, but I will be living in St. Charles, Missouri attending Lindenwood University in the fall. Go LIONS! I will be a freshman trying to double major in Business Administration and Non-Profit Management and then eventually getting my masters. But most of all my passion is Venturing and the opportunities it offers each and every day. My favorite activities are anything outdoors and enjoying the challenges that Venturing offers. This June, I have the opportunity to spend three weeks at Philmont at the Philmont Training Center and in the back country with my crew. I have been very active in Venturing since I first joined when I was 14 years old. I am very active in my crew at home, and I am also involved in a Sea Scout Ship to better my knowledge about that great program. Over the past couple of years I have held an Area Venturing President and Regional Venturing Vice President position. I am now ready to take on the Central Region Venturing President position! This year, the Central Region is going to be focusing on building the areas to allow better program opportunities. I am very excited to be able to meet as many Venturers as possible as I travel throughout the year. Remember I am always just an email or Facebook message away! Have a great year Central Region!
