Meet the Staff
Josiah Richardson will serve as chairman of our Scout Leadership Committee. He will give leadership to a committee of youth leaders who will guide the overall staff to be sure our Camporee stays focused on delivering a program relavant to our primary customers.... Scouts and Scout families.
Josiah is a 15 year old Life Scout in Troop 112 of Paris, France. He’s currently working on his Eagle Project: developing an historic trail from Château-Thierry to Belleau Wood/Aisne-Marne American Cemetery to commemorate the American influence during the Marne-Valley offensive of the First World War.
Josiah joined Scouting in 2017 to gain leadership experience. He has been selected to serve as the Senior Patrol Leader of the National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) 2021 course for the Transatlantic Council. Additionally he serves on the Transatlantic Council Executive Board as a youth representative.
He has attended the Normandy Camporee twice and and has made some of his fondest Scouting memories there. He hopes to help make this Camporee a wonderful and memorable experience for all the youth who attend. It was because of a family trip to the Normandy beaches when he was six that he decided that he wants to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point and serve in the US Army.
We look forward to Josiah's leadership and working closely with him and the other members of the Scout Leadership committee.
