		<h4>Clark Garthwait - District Director&nbsp;</h4>
<p>I remember my first time in Cub Scouts in Mundelion, IL and then finishing my Scouting path as a youth earning my Eagle Award in New Lisbon, WI.&nbsp; Like many youth I went off to college at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls and after graduation met my wife Diana and we decided to start our family.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Scouting came knocking on my door again while we were in Ironwood, MI and my son Paul brought home a Join Cub Scouts flyer and the journey started again.&nbsp; Paul entered Cub Scouts as a Tiger Cub and as he followed along on his path to Eagle Scout I was their as a parent volunteer, Cub Master and Assistant Scoutmaster.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>As Paul was finishing up his journey and a career change on the horizon, Diana suggested that I look to Scouting as a career as a professional and I was hired as a District Executive in the Gateway Area Council in La Crosse, WI.&nbsp; &nbsp;It must have been a coincidence that I was returning to the council that I had earned my Eagle award.&nbsp; &nbsp;I served in the Gateway for seven years starting out as a District Executive and then as Senior District Executive and as District Director.&nbsp; In those seven years I was responsible for camp operations at Camp Decorah and as Camp Director for one summer.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p>In August of 2019 I returned to the Voyageur Area Council to serve as the District Director for the Arrowhead District.&nbsp; &nbsp;My wife Diana has been by my side for all of these years and were are both excited to be in the Duluth area with our chocolate lab Justice.&nbsp; &nbsp;We have two children that are following their interests.&nbsp; &nbsp;Paul is an Eagle Scout and following his path while our daughter is a student at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.&nbsp; &nbsp;When not promoting Scouting I like to explore new areas, read and search for that next hobby.</p>
