New District Commissioner for Southern Europe

August 13, 2022

Following the sudden passing of Ruth Marienfeld (former DC), a poll was sent to key members of the Southern Europe Team with the proposal that Jordan McCullough (Acting DC) be made substantive in the role by Nathan Prince (BSO Area Commissioner).


By unanimous decision, Southern Europe Team agreed to the proposal and we can now confirm Jordan McCullough as District Commissioner for Southern Europe.


I am delighted to formally announce Jordan McCullough as the new District Commissioner for Southern Europe. His role will now come into immediate effect. I know that Jordan will work tirelessly for Southern Europe District to ensure that it is supported and that more young people can get #SkillsForLife through Scouting in Southern Europe region.


Nathan Prince (Area Commissioner)

Jordan start Scouting at the age of 4 as a Squirrel with Scouts NI (Northern Ireland) and grown up within his original group at 1st Cullybackey in County Antrim where he is still involved.  


During his time at Scouts NI, he has been involved in various local roles in addition to being appointed as the first national Assistant Country Commissioner for Inclusion.


In August of 2021, Jordan relocated and transferred to Scouting experience and skills over to BSO within Southern Europe where he has held various leadership roles at District & Area level.


Outside of Scouting professionally, is a Senior HR Business Partner which means he partner with other senior internal and external business stakeholders to ensure that the people and human element of work is at the forefront of the decisions made.

We already know you love camping, supporting and developing young people, the chance to meet new people and visit other countries. If you would like a great opportunity to combine all of these, we want to hear from you. We would like to offer our young people more choice in summer camps. Groups of around 40 young people and 4 to 6 adults taking part in an international experience to build their confidence or gain top awards. This is what our young people have to say from previous events; I would recommend a BSO Jamboree because… “It’s AMAZING! It’s been the best experience I've had in my life, really well organised” - Morgan, Paris Explorers “I think it's an experience to meet people that you will remember for the rest of your life from other countries” – Fernanda, Madrid Scouts “It’s the BEST experience in my life” – Marcos, Madrid Explorers “It was a great way to meet new people and try new things and have freedom” – Elizabeth, Dubai Scouts “I loved it, I made so many new friends that I have kept in contact with after camp that I really enjoyed it. Also, I believe that it was a good experience to be away from parents for a long time” – Alex, Dubai Explorers “You’ll have fun, new experiences, meet new people & learn new sports like sailing” – Kumail, Dubai Explorers “It was a great experience and it was a pleasure to be able to meet with multiple internationally based scouts in one place while participating in fun activities” - Ethan, Doha Scouts “It’s really fun, a great experience in general, you meet people from everywhere which is something you get nowhere else” - Lieve, Paris Scouts These our the current opportunities, we are happy to hear from you if you have other ideas as well;
