Laura, in uniform…
For our latest #meettheteammonday on Mayflower Council’s social media, we sat down with Laura (Moriarty) Romero, Mayflower Council Senior Development Director!
Laura, what is your favorite aspect of Scouting?
“[It’s] the community that is Scouting; a community that brings generations together to deliver a program to our youngest generation that is filled with fun, adventure, and friendships, and in the process, builds confidence, teaches service beyond self, acceptance of others, and a desire for lifelong learning.”
What brought you to the Mayflower Council?
“After a pandemic layoff from a neighboring council, I was approached about my interest in working for the Mayflower Council. I welcomed the opportunity!”

What is your Scouting background?
“Growing up, I was a Girl Scout and became a leader with both of my daughter’s troops, so when a flyer was found in my son’s backpack to join Cub Scouts, not only did he join, so did I. In my volunteer capacity, I have been a Den Leader, Cubmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster, and Crew Advisor, and on Nov. 1 of this year, I celebrated my 23rd career anniversary.”
Council Duties
“As Senior Development Director, my primary responsibilities are to develop philanthropic giving through our Annual Campaign ‘Friends of Scouting’ to help financially support our council programs, also to manage our council product fundraiser and lend support to our units who participate in it.”
