Terry Whitaker joins the Flint River Council with an impressive background in Scouting leadership, marked by years of commitment to youth development and community collaboration. Terry has been continuously registered in Scouting since 1985 at the age of eight, spending the last twenty-one years as a professional Scouter. His passion for fostering strong relationships with volunteers, families, and community partners aligns perfectly with the council’s mission to build character, citizenship, and leadership in young people.

"I am truly honored to become a part of the Flint River Council family," said Whitaker. "I look forward to meeting our Scouts, volunteers, and community leaders, working together to strengthen the impact of Scouting in every neighborhood we serve."

In his new role, Whitaker will focus on expanding community partnerships, supporting local Scout units, and creating opportunities that reflect the unique spirit of the Flint River region. His leadership will help ensure that Scouting remains a positive, transformative experience for young people across our area.

"Terry’s enthusiasm for community involvement is exactly what our council needs," said Dale Carley, President of the Flint River Council. "We are excited to support his vision and work alongside him as we continue to grow Scouting’s presence in our local towns and neighborhoods."
