Background

Bucking practice, the Boy Scouts of America selected Mosby, not a professional Scouter, as their president and CEO.[2] He does not bear the title Chief Scout Executive as that title is reserved for professional Scouters with specific training. [3] Though not a Scouting professional, Mosby was a youth member in the Southeast Missouri Council (Cape Girardeau, Missouri) and Egyptian Council (Union County, Illinois), a long-time volunteer in the Mid-America and Sam Houston Area councils.[1] Mosby has also worked at the regional and national levels of the BSA.[4] He has also volunteered with the World Organization of the Scout Movement.[4]

Before his selection as president and CEO, he ran his own consulting firm after retiring as an energy industry executive.[2]

Awards

Mosby has been recognized with the Silver Beaver Award, Silver Antelope Award, and the Vigil Honor of the Order of the Arrow.[5]
