Chris joined the career staff of the Transatlantic Council in 2017 after having previously served Scouting in 5 local councils throughout the US, and then as a member of the National Council staff for nearly 10 years. He currently serves as our Chief Financial Officer, responsible for all business matters of the council.

He was anxious to join Cub Scouts at age 7 (joining age back then) and progressed through the program and was awarded his Eagle Scout in 1976. He served as Lodge Chief in the Order of the Arrow’s Guneukitschik Lodge. Some of his closest Scouting friends are from the days when he served on camp staff as a youth, and later on the staff of the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.

Chris serves as the staff advisor to the following camporee committees:  Registration and Administration; Government Coordination, Trading Post, Communications, Budget & Finance, as well as Staff Food Service.

Catherine Gritz, Chair of our Special Activities Committee, has announced the addition of a Swap Event to our Camporee Master Calendar. The proposed event will allow youth participants to swap or trade items of interest..... and one might imagine that might include patches, neckerchiefs, and who knows, maybe even a unitform shirt with Scouts from other National Scout Organizations. Details for the Swap Event are still in the works, but this is a a great addition to our overall schedule.
