SCOUT EXECUTIVE -JAMBOREE JOURNEY

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson Visits 2017 National Scout Jamboree

Secretary Tillerson was visiting the 2017 National Jamboree for the announcement of the Rex W. Tillerson Leadership Center and unveiling a bronze statue of him at the site. 

“When we acquired the site for the Jamboree, we realized we had an opportunity to do so much more than that,” said Tillerson, who served as national president of the Boy Scouts of America from 2010 to 2012. “We wanted to create a lasting leadership opportunity, and this was a part I really wanted to attach my name to.”

The Rex W. Tillerson Leadership Center will be a part of the Thomas S. Monson Leadership Excellence Complex, which is currently under development. The center will be “a place for leadership and ethics training for youth,” according to Wayne Perry, a former national president of the Boy Scouts of America. Perry said the center will be approximately 12,000 square feet and feature multipurpose classrooms, an auditorium and a library.
