What can an Eagle Scout accomplish? A lot.

Please Join Us in Welcoming Liam Justine! 👋

We’re excited to welcome Liam Justine to the Lincoln Heritage Council team! Liam will be serving the Seneca District - he’s already off to a fast start supporting our busy recruitment season.

A U.S. Army veteran, Liam has experience leading teams, training others, and managing operations—including most recently in Germany.

Scouting has also been a big part of Liam’s life. After spending 10 years in Thailand, he became a founding member of Scouts BSA Troop 711 in Chiang Rai, where he earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He also earned his Arrow of Light and is a Vigil member of the Order of the Arrow.

Outside of Scouting, Liam enjoys fishing, hunting, board games, and sports. He and his family are moving from Michigan to Shelby County, Kentucky.

Welcome to the team, Liam! We’re glad to have you! ⚜️
