Formerly with the executive staff of Scouts Canada, Jon worked at the regional and provincial levels of the organization for ten years. He held responsibilities for adult training, public relations, and program support. He provided staff support to numerous committees and took an active role in training and program development. At the time Scouting provided the equivalent of $2.5 million worth of adult training within Alberta each year.
