For more than 25 years I had been an active boy scout. A very active boy scout.
Scouting tremendously contribute to my personal growth and development in my early years. I spend time together with other kids having totally different backgrounds, which definitely broadened my perspectives. And I had amazing leaders, mentors and friends who always put a lot of trust and acknowledgement on me. Seriously, there is nothing better that can happen to an adolescent.
I took my own very first leadership role in the tender age of 14, and have been a leader of various youth groups in different age cohorts over time. I have also been an instructor/coach to younger leader talents and have been in various organizational leadership positions up to federal-level (country) over time.
I discontinued my commitment after nearly 3 decades when moving to a job inside the pharmaceutical industry and to a different region. But – as people say – “once a scout, always a scout”, yes, in my heart and mind I still am.
