Council Staffing Update!
Congratulations to two members of the Anthony Wayne Area Council staff family that are moving on to other opportunities and challenges!

  • 3 Rivers District Associate Sunshine Moss has taken a role as a Field Worker with Modern Day Missions and Blackhawk Ministries in Slovakia. She will be supporting the youth in the local church, elementary and middle schools. She flew to Europe last week and is in the middle of mandatory quarantine for a couple of weeks before she starts her work.

  • Pokagon District Executive Josh Jones-St. Clair has accepted a new position within the Boy Scouts of America. In mid-August he will begin his new role as Senior District Executive in the Colonial Virginia Council in Newport News, VA. The Scouts and Scouters of the Monitor Merrimac District are lucky to have him!

Both have been incredible members of our Scouting family here in northeast Indiana and will be greatly missed. We wish them both all the best as they move into this next phase of their careers and lives.
