Anthony Nigro, District Executive for the NE Cape Fear District, Cape Fear Council of the Boy Scouts of American was our speaker today. To say that Anthony is excited about Boy Scouts is an understatement as his enthusiasm for scouting was evident throughout his presentation. Anthony’s district includes Pender County and North East New Hanover County.
Anthony started off by mentioning some facts about the Cape Fear Council highlighting that there are 83 Eagle Scouts within the Council who contributed over 17,000 service hours to the community that covers eight counties in Southeastern North Carolina. In 2020, Scouts in the Council contributed over 30,000 service hours through volunteering at local food banks, school cleanups, and other projects to help the community. This past year, the Council hosted ‘virtual colleges’ with learning sessions on a variety of topics that drew over 4,000 international kids.
With strict COVID social distancing measures in place, some of the troops are starting to hold in-person meetings again to help relieve the stress that home isolation can cause for Scouts. Troops are also hosting in-person activities for special events during the calendar year.
Anthony mentioned that some of the activities continuing this year include Summer Camp via Zoom classes, camp on weekends with assorted outdoor activities, Scout day in April to help various community organizations by supplying scout volunteers, Scout Sundays to participate in virtual church services, Youth Day this summer to host a big fun day with activities for elementary and middle school age kids, and scouting for food using door hangers to collect and help to store the contributed food at food pantries this fall before Thanksgiving.
Anthony attended college at NC State University graduating with a degree in Sport Management in 2018. After a short stint with the Town of Morrisville, he took the position with the Cape Fear Council Boy Scouts of America in September of 2018 right after Hurricane Florence. My current title is District Executive and he oversees the operations of the scouting program in Pender and New Hanover counties. He is an Eagle Scout, Rotarian, and Kiwanian. Outside of work he spends most of his time with his wife, Taylor, and their dog, Leia, just working on their new house.
