Why Scouting?

Welcoming a new Senior District Executive!

The Texas Southwest Council (TSWC) District Executive Selection Committee unanimously recommended the hiring of Lorenzo Guerra as our next Senior District Executive for the Amistad District. We are excited about the depth of Lorenzo’s professional Scouting experience and look forward to the leadership and commitment he brings to sharing the values of Scouting with the young men and women in our area.

Lorenzo comes to us from the Circle Ten Council, Scouting America, where he served as a District Executive for the Tejas Caddo District in Central Dallas. His journey in Scouting is rich and diverse, having served on their professional executive team and as the 2023 Program Director at Trevor Rees-Jones Scout Camp. His prior year as the Climbing Director was when he was first hired as a District Executive.  

Before becoming a professional scouter, Lorenzo served as an Assistant Scoutmaster with Troop 42 in San Angelo while attending Angelo State University, where he received a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Finance.

Lorenzo is an Eagle Scout from Troop 255 in Del Rio and a Brotherhood Member of the Order of the Arrow.

We are pleased to announce that Lorenzo will begin his duties on August 1st, serving the Amistad District.
