He had just come from the national headquarters and named it after his former boss, the first Scout Executive.

He remained a Scout executive for 34 years.

In many cases, the council executive board will refer to the Scout executive as its chief executive officer.

During those years he held local and national positions, including acting as the Scout executive for the borough of Queens from 1929 to 1937.

He served as Scout Executive for 40 years.

He was then the Scout executive for the Chicago Area Council.
