CEO

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.

Is responsible for strategic planning, council and Boy Scouts of America objectives, fiscal stability, membership and growth management, and for volunteer and community relationships for the Scouting program and unit service within the council.

The council is geographically well suited for Scouting. Both El Paso and Las Cruces are situated on the slopes of the Franklin Mountains. Several national parks and national monuments are either in the council boundaries or are close by. The council is reasonably close to the Philmont High Adventure base. The council has a long-term lease on a camp in the mountainous region near Cloudcroft, New Mexico, and just executed a long-term lease for an urban camp in El Paso that borders the Rio Grande river.
