Scouting has been an essential part of my life ever since I was 12 years old. It has been the source of unforgettable challenges and adventures when I was a boy, adolescent and then young adult. From Junior Scout to Assistant Leader Trainer during my active time, and today as part of the World Scout Foundation, Scouting has continued to make me a happier person in my private life and a more successful contributor in my professional life. My goal today is simple: to give back to Scouting at least a small piece of what Scouting has given to me.
In my spare time, I like to travel and spend quality time with family and friends in the South of France.
