Meet the Team: Jack Colamaria

For our latest #meettheteammonday on Mayflower Council’s social media, we sat down with Jack Colamaria, Membership & Unit Service Director!

Jack, what is your favorite aspect of Scouting?

“[It’s] helping parents sign up their sons and daughters and watching the Scouts continue the journey from Cub Scouts to Scouts BSA to Eagle.”

What brought you to the Mayflower Council?

“As a longtime volunteer, I was excited when the opportunity arose to become a professional Scouter.”

What is your Scouting background?

“I was a youth then adult volunteer in Pack and Troop 49 Norwood, where my son also attained Eagle. I attended Philmont Scout Reservation in 2008 with my son Jay and his troop. I attended the 2010 National Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill, volunteering on the Banking Group, the 2013 National Jamboree as an Assistant Scoutmaster, and 2017 as a Scoutmaster and Contingent leader for eight troops. I am a Vigil Honor Member of the Order of the Arrow with Tantamous Lodge. I have received the District Award of Merit, the Silver Beaver Award, and the George Meany Award.”

Council Duties

“I oversee the Membership and Unit Service Team, which helps to support and grow units.”

What else keeps you busy?

“I am an active member of Rotary International, a past President of the Framingham Rotary Club, and currently an Assistant Governor. I have had the pleasure of attending International Conventions in Melbourne, Australia, Houston, Texas, and Toronto, Canada, with my mom, a fellow Rotarian. Scouting and Rotary have similar values, giving back to the community, and working well together.”
