Throughout the search process, we were impressed by Tony’s understanding that strong Council leadership must translate into practical support for Scouts, volunteers, families, units, and staff. His experience in communication, technology, fundraising, and relationship-building will help us strengthen local units, support volunteers more effectively, reach new families, and grow Scouting across Vermont.
During his first 90 days, Tony plans to spend significant time reconnecting with the Council, meeting and listening to volunteers and staff, visiting units and communities, and learning where we can better support them. I encourage you to share your thoughts and experiences related to building and sustaining strong programs, supporting our Scouts and adult volunteers, reaching new families, and maintaining a positive Scouting experience for families from the moment they join.
On behalf of the Executive Board and the search committee, I also want to thank everyone who shared thoughts and completed our surveys during the search process. Your feedback helped us think carefully about what the Green Mountain Council needs from its next leader, and those perspectives mattered.
Please join me in welcoming Tony home to the Green Mountain Council. We are excited for what comes next and grateful to have him returning to Vermont to lead alongside our Scouts, volunteers, families, and staff.
Yours in Scouting, |

He spent eight summers on staff at Mount Norris before beginning his professional Scouting career with the Green Mountain Council in 2000. As District Executive for the Calvin Coolidge District, Tony worked closely with local units and volunteers and developed firsthand familiarity with the different ways Scouting operates across Vermont.
