Staff Announcement

It is with pride and excitement that I announce that Chris Mehaffey was selected to serve as the Scout Executive of the Sagamore Council in Kokomo, Indiana.

Chris is an Eagle Scout and a graduate of Auburn University. He and his wife Jennifer have three young daughters. Chris began his Scouting career in 2000 in the Chickasaw Council, Memphis, TN as a District Executive. In 2003 he was promoted to the Circle Ten Council, Dallas, TX as a District Director where he served until 2005 when he was promoted to Field Director. In 2008, Chris accepted a promotion to the Black Warrior Council, Tuscaloosa, AL as Program Director where he served until being promoted to Senior Development Director in 2009, a position he currently holds.

Chris’s dedication to Scouting has served the Black Warrior Council well and he will most definitely be missed. He will begin his duties in Kokomo on April 16, 2012. Prior to his departure, we will hold a special reception in his honor on Friday, April 13, 2012 at 2:00pm, location at the Scout Office.

Join me in congratulating Chris in his new role with the Boy Scouts of America.
