The Baltimore Area Council, Boy Scouts of America is pleased to welcome Dave Blehi as the new Chesapeake District Executive. Dave's appointment by Scout Executive Ethan Draddy was announced to volunteer leaders in the beginning of January, and he is already hard at work in the communities of Edgemere, Dundalk, Essex, Middle River and Chase. Dave is a 2006 graduate of The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) and has spent his entire life involved with the Boy Scouts of America. He began his scouting career as a five-year-old Tiger Cub and earned the honor of Eagle Scout in Short Gap, West Virginia. As a student at Penn State, Dave was extremely involved in providing community service and was the Chapter President of a coed service organization, Alpha Phi Omega. As District Executive, Dave joins District Chairman Bill Lauer, District Commissioner Sharon Greenbeck and numerous other volunteer members of the Chesapeake District Committee in providing support to the organizations in our community that sponsor scouting. The district provides support in the areas of membership, finance, program and unit service to the cub scout packs, boy scout troops and venture crews it serves. The Chesapeake District covers the geography of eastern Baltimore County south of Route 40 from Sparrows Point north to Chase. Seventeen Cub Scout Packs, 21 Boy Scout Troops and 12 Venturing Crews make up the district, serving a membership of nearly 1,000 young men and women. Scouting units are chartered to 36 local churches, businesses, community and fraternal organizations.
