Tom Cardiff - New Scout Executive
for the Coastal Empire Council
The selection committee of the Coastal Empire Council, Boy Scouts of America is proud to announce Tom Cardiff as its new Scout Executive; Mr. Cardiff will begin his executive tenure beginning November 1, 2006.
We are excited to have Tom and his wife, September, and their four sons - Justin, Hayden, Cayman and Tazman - joining our Scouting family.
Tom’s involvement in Scouting began as a boy growing up on John’s Island, SC where he started as a Cub Scout moving through the program and achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. Some of his favorite memories are those of Scouting with his four brothers and having his father as their Scout Master. He has also had the privilege of being a staff member at Camp Ho Non Wah for many years where he developed his love for the summer camp programs.
Tom received his Bachelor’s degree in history from Morehead State University. While there, he met his lovely wife and played football. After graduating he took a job with the Boy Scouts as a District Executive over a twelve county district in Kentucky. Over the past twenty years of his involvement with the Blue Grass Council, Tom has had the opportunity to be Camp Director, Round-Table Commissioner, COPE Director, and Scoutmaster, among other positions.
Tom enjoys camping, hiking, golfing, coaching football, playing basketball, and spending time with his family. He is very active in his church and enjoys working with youth.
Tom has a great love for the Scouting program and the values and character it teaches to youth, and he is proud to be a part of the great Scouting movement.
