Meet the Southern Prairie District Key 3

I am Will T. Brown, and I am the Southern Prairie District Chair. I got involved with Scouting through my wife Dawn, who worked at the Philmont Training Center through her college years. Both our children are in Scouting, and I've been an Assistant Scoutmaster, Scoutmaster, and unit treasurer. I am a proud member of the Owl Patrol. My daytime job is as an IT Consultant for the University of Iowa.

I’m originally from and went to high school in DeWitt, Iowa. I then went on to get my bachelor’s degree from Iowa State University, where I majored in marketing and earned a sales certificate. While at ISU, I enjoyed playing my saxophone in the university’s symphonic band as well as participating in marketing club and intramural sports. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, drawing, and hiking. I recently moved to Coralville, and I am excited to start my career here and get involved in the community!
