We're delighted today to announce Phil Wright as the new Deputy District Commissioner for Northern Europe.
Area Commissioner, Nathan said "I'm delighted to be able to welcome Phil as Deputy District Commissioner for Northern Europe. Phil will be working along side District Commissioner Chris Tebb in leading and supporting our volunteer teams across Northern Europe and bring a wealth of management experience in addition to his Scouting experience to the District.
I'm sure you'll all join me in welcoming Phil to BSO.
Introducing himself, Phil says;
I started my scouting journey in 2009 as a parent helper driving the group minibus then having caught the scouting bug I agreed to become the group chairman. Over the years I have taken many roles including acting Group Scout Leader, District Chairman, and County administrator. I have also had the pleasure of leading three international camps as well as numerous activity days and camps within the UK. I was very honoured to be offered the role of Deputy District Commissioner for Northern Europe.
In my day-to-day life, I spend my time between Germany and the UK as the Chief Operations Officer for an International manufacturing company with bases in India, Germany, and the UK. Previously I spent 6 years in the British Army and have been a UK sales manager for several UK companies. I have 4 children and 2 grandchildren who I enjoy spending time with.
