2010 National Vice Chief Bio
2010 National Vice Chief Interview
2010 National Vice Chief, Will Swingle
| How do you feel to be a national officer? What do you find most
exciting about the role? |
It's hard to find the words to describe how I feel. The thoughts
of being able to travel the country meeting Arrowmen from across the
globe are almost unreal. The most exciting part of this next year, in
my mind, would have to be the fact that I will be able to train Arrowmen
from across the nation. By training our youth we ensure that we, as
an order, have a future and I am most excited about being a part of
that.
|
| What are you most looking forward to? |
I am most looking forward to be able to travel across the nation
and world, I enjoy going to new places and meeting new people. I also
can't wait to participate in more OA High Adventure and helping with
the 2010 National Jamboree.
|
| What are your earliest memories of the OA? |
My earliest memory was watching older boys in my Cub pack bridge
over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts, our local chapter performed his
bridging ceremony.
|
| What was your first leadership position and what was the greatest
lesson you learned from it? |
My first leadership position was my troop's Quartermaster. During
my tenure I learned valuable lessons in organization and reliability.
|
| What is the coolest thing you've done in Scouting?
|
The coolest was probably going to Florida's Sea Base and participating
in the Coral Reef Sailing program.
|
| What makes you proudest to be an Arrowman? |
What really makes me proud to be an Arrowman would be the fact that
we as an organization focus on youth leadership and the development
of youth leaders.
|
| What awesome things have you done in the OA? |
The most awesome thing I have gotten to do is attend the 2009 National
Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC). Being able to meet Arrowmen from
across the nation was incredible and having that time to meet and hang
out with friends was a great experience.
|
| What makes the OA so cool? |
What I feel makes the OA so cool is the fact that we can make the
program what we want it to be. As youth when we first join we have a
chance to join so many different committees in the lodge or chapter
and truly do what we want.
