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 !
