Greetings!
Ron Green will become the 10th Scout Executive in the 100-year history of the Greater St. Louis Area Council on Tuesday, March 1. Moments after he was selected, he took the time to record a video message for our Scouting community. Click here or on the graphic to view the video.
"My hope is for all of us to work together with a focus on our Scouts," Green said during the council's executive board meeting on Feb. 15. "They should be at the top of our minds."
Ron, an Eagle Scout, and his wife, Kathy, have two children, Caitlin and Thomas. Both are attending college on the East Coast.
Please join us in welcoming Ron and his family to our council.
