I love this job!

District executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I do not have a scouting background, but I love the organization, and my job. I keep waiting for that feeling I've had with other jobs where you just don't like it anymore, but I don't get that with this job. I am more than willing to do things at night and on the weekends, because I love the organization and the volunteers.

Cons

If you do not have enough volunteers, it is difficult to perform well

Business Outlook

Pros

Working at a camp you get to be outdoors 24/7 and a vast majority of your time is spent smiling and laughing.

Cons

The pay is small, food is bland, and sleep quarters are no Marriott's if that is what you are expecting.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay starting out for college graduate in this turbulent economic climate. I gained a lot of experience with BSoA and was able to land a sweet job afterwards!

Cons

Ten people in management with a professional staff of 13 - problem here? National sold the board on the new Scout executive; but he does not have the skill set to do the job. Moral is in the tank.
