Heart of America Council, Boy Scouts of America

Brandon Gawel, Kaw District Director for the Heart of America Council of the Boy Scouts of America will be joining us to bring us up to date on the Heart of America Council.  Since December of 2020, Brandon has been serving the volunteers and the Heart of America Council in the Kaw District.  Brandon has been in Scouting since he was a Wolf Scout in Del-Mar-Va Council in Wilmington, Delaware.  Outside of Scouting, Brandon enjoys lacrosse, golfing, and exploring all that Kansas City has to offer. He also enjoys watching sports, especially the Philadelphia Eagles, which luckily are an NFC team, so that he can still root for the Chiefs.  Shortly after graduating from Lebanon Valley College, Brandon started his professional Scouting career in Central Florida Council, located in Orlando, Florida. He served as a District Executive for Little Econ and Colonial District for three and a half years and as Lodge Staff Adviser for the Tipisa Lodge, prior to coming to Heart of America and serving in the Lone Bear District in 2019.  He is currently also serving as the new Lodge Staff Adviser for Tamegonit Lodge.
