Christopher Dore
Seneca Waterways Council, Boy Scouts of America has appointed Eagle Scout Christopher Dore, a Cortland, NY native, as district executive. Dore’s role is to support volunteer leaders in implementing the Scouting program youth in the Lighthouse District, which includes Brockport, Greece, Hamlin, Hilton and Spencerport. As district executive he has responsibilities for expanding programming to give every young child who wishes to join Scouts the opportunity to do so. Having served on the camp staff at Camp Barton in Trumansburg, NY, Dore’s leadership skills, Scouting background, and life experiences from studying abroad will serve him well in working with a diverse pool of volunteers and chartered organizations in offering Scouting’s character development programs to more youth in his district.
After spending a year studying abroad in Germany, Chris returned home to earn his Eagle in 2005 as a member of Troop 80 in Cortland. He went on to study history and Asian studies as SUNY Oswego, and graduate cum laude in 2010. While there, however, he again took advantage of the study abroad program and spent a semester studying in Japan at Akita International University. He is also a 2012 graduate of Northeastern University, where he earned his master’s degree in international affairs.
