Message from our District Director Deriall Reed,

Iron Horse District, I would like to personally thank each dedicated scout volunteer leader for their invaluable contributions to our district's remarkable success over the past three years. Your selfless commitment to the scouting mission has truly made Iron Horse District exceptional. I am sincerely thankful for the time and effort you've devoted amid your busy schedules, shaping the youth's scouting experience in this incredible district. Your collective dedication is the driving force behind Iron Horse District being the BEST district in PTAC

Thus, it is with mixed emotions that I announce my transition from BSA executive to new career endeavors. Serving as your district executive for the past three years, five years for some, has been a privilege. Getting to know each of you has enriched my career experience, creating memories I will forever cherish.

Looking ahead, I am pleased to introduce David Tafur as the interim district executive while the vacancy is filled. David is the current Assistant Director of Field Services for Pathway To Adventure Council. David is an outstanding individual who is poised to continue steering Iron Horse in a positive direction.

For all scouting-related inquiries, please reach out to David at [email protected] or (630) 796 – 4226.

Iron Horse, thank you once again for your unwavering dedication. I am confident that under David's leadership, the district will continue to thrive and uphold its status as the BEST district in PTAC!

Best Regards,
Deriall Reed
