National Announcement 

I am pleased to announce the selection of Lisa Stegman as Scout Executive of the Bay Area Council in Galveston, Texas, effective January 16, 2026.

Lisa began her journey with Scouting as a volunteer in 2002 at the Central Florida Council. She became a professional Scouter in 2009, joining the Bay Area Council in Galveston as a District Executive. She was subsequently promoted to Senior District Executive, District Director and Field Director.

Lisa and her husband, William, are a legacy Scouting family and have two sons, Neil, a dual silver palm Eagle Scout, who is an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard serving on the Polar Star, and Todd, a silver palm Eagle Scout, who is a lead piping specialty fitter and recently married.

Lisa is a Silver Beaver recipient who enjoys art, puzzles, landscaping, woodworking, outdoors and water activities.

Please join me in congratulating Lisa as she joins in partnership with the volunteers and staff of the Bay Area Council to deliver quality Scouting experiences to the young people of the communities they serve.
