Introducing John Estes, Association Vice President
My name is John Estes and I am an Eagle Scout, class of 1982 from Troop 185 in Winchester, TN. After I achieved Eagle Scout, I joined the staff at Boxwell and worked summers from 1983 through 1988. I was hired to return in 1989 but due to an injury I was unable. While on staff, I worked at Camps Craig and Parnell. The first position was in the Activity Yard at Camp Craig. Eventually, I served as the Activity Yard Director and Waterfront Director between the two camps.
I have stayed involved with Scouting through the years in various ways. In the early 2000s, I served as Cub Master and Assistant Scoutmaster in the Mt. Juliet area. For the past several years, I have participated in the Round Tuit at Boxwell, doing service work.
Professionally, I work for the Veterans Administration as a Realty Specialist and hold a Master’s Degree in Education from Middle Tennessee State University. My wife and I live in the Nashville area, have 2 grown sons, a daughter-in-law, and 1 grandchild. I hope to return to the staff in the next several years.
