Dwayne Fields, the new chief scout, shared that he faced street violence, being stabbed and a victim of attempted shooting, yet Scouts provided a path away from the violence.
Fields emphasized the impact of Scouting on his life, crediting it with teaching him empathy and communication that guided his decisions and gave him a sense of belonging.
As a child, Fields was initially scared and shy moving from Jamaica, but finding a place in Scouts instilled self-belief and support that shaped his future.
Mr. Fields aims to reshape the perception of the Scouts, focusing on inclusivity and connecting with diverse communities that might feel alienated by historic scouting norms.
