Scott credits the beginning of his leadership training at the age of 8 when he was finally old enough to join Cub Scouts.

As an Eagle Scout, he remains very active in Scouting locally and nationally. Scott has served as a Shows Director at eleven National Order of the Arrow Conferences and four National Boy Scout Jamborees. He has served as a chaplain at National and World Scout Jamborees. Scott serves on the Boy Scouts of America’s National Religious Relationships Committee.

Scott has served on several district Committees on Ordained Ministry (dCOM). During his 10- year tenure on the North Georgia Conference’s Board of Ordained Ministry, Scott served as the Interviews chairperson and crafted a new segment for provisional and ordination interviews focused upon Leadership Development. Currently, Scott serves on the North Georgia Conference’s Committee on Finance and Administration.

Since 2016, Scott has served as one of twenty Board of Directors for the General Commission on United Methodist Men. As chairperson of Scouting Ministries within The United Methodist Church, Scott leads the way in presenting and teaching Scouting as a viable and valuable tool for congregations nationwide. As the General Commission on United Methodist Men expands its ministry worldwide, Scott is excited about all the opportunities to expand the skills and values gained through Scouting.

Scott has recently completed training as a spiritual coach. He is an Early Response Team Trainer for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). His leadership and support for missions both locally and globally has contributed to Cornerstone UMC being recognized for six consecutive years as a North Georgia Conference’s Church of Excellence in Outreach and Missions.

Somehow, Scott still finds time to enjoy traveling, reading, and the great outdoors. His greatest joy is spending time with his three-year-old niece, Kyleigh.
