Rest in Peace President, and former Scoutmaster, Jimmy Carter.

✝️⚜️🪢

President Jimmy Carter was the only President to have served as a Scoutmaster (so far). Prior to his political career Jimmy Carter was a Troop Committee Chairman, Scoutmaster and Explorer Post Advisor. First Lady Roselyn Carter once served as a Den Mother and their three sons all served as Scoutmasters. After Carter's appeal for energy conservation programs, the BSA held a Scouting Environment Day in 1977. In 1978, the Boy Scouts of America awarded him the Silver Buffalo Award for service to youth on a national level.
