Kenneth P. Kercheval, Interim Scout Executive
Dear Scouters and Friends of Scouting:
I am pleased to announce that I will be the Interim Scout Executive for the Choctaw Area Council. We were thankful to have James Hulgan serve as our last Scout Executive and certainly wish him the best in Indiana with his new assignment. You all know that Choctaw is more of a home than any other place that I have served Scouting because of the 16 years I spent here and raised my children in Meridian. My mission is the same in the Andrew Jackson Council as it was in the CAC and will be today moving forward. Keep the main thing the main thing. The main thing is serving youth in the Scouting program. Our mission is to grow Scouting by making sure those who want to join will have an opportunity to join and participate in the longest-running youth organization in our country. We can do this by working together to provide opportunities to join strong programs and be financially sound, with enough employees to support the volunteer leadership.
I am always available if you need to ask a question or have a concern. Most of you still have my contact information, but if you do not, please feel free to put it in your contacts. I look forward to providing you with the service that you deserve, even if there is the word Interim in front of the title.
Sincerely in Scouting,
Kenneth P. Kercheval
Interim Scout Executive Choctaw Area Council
