Any Student may choose to work specifically in one area or learn the entire gamut of the operation of the Boy Scouts of America, which is essentially a business under the non-profit umbrella. These skills can be applied to nearly every future employment opportunity that may arise. Once I have interviewed and chosen students we will then take your personal immediate and career goals into consideration before we tailor an internship program that is personal. This will be a hands-on internship and once we have created a program specifically catered to you, I will hand you the reigns as much as possible. Students will have the opportunity to travel the region with me if they so chose.
