The Outstanding Eagle Scout Award is presented by the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) to an Eagle Scout who has demonstrated distinguished service to their community upon the recommendation of their local council. The award recognizes Eagle Scouts for remarkable achievements well beyond their Scouting endeavors who excel in their profession and inspire others through their positive actions. Congratulations to this year’s Virginia Headwaters Council recipient of the NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award: Will Hill.

Will earned the Eagle Scout award from the Baltimore Area Council in February 1965. A graduate of Virginia Tech, Will spent his career in senior engineering and marketing roles with a focus on products in the portable power tools, hand tools, security products, cordless and alternative energy sectors. After retiring from Stanley Black & Decker as Corporate Vice President of Engineering & Technology, Will founded M.A. Warren, a firm focused on investing in start-up companies and advising larger companies on strategic planning and innovation.

Will spent 12 years on the Executive Board of the Connecticut Rivers Council in Hartford and, after moving to Charlottesville, joined the Executive Board of the Virginia Headwaters Council where he serves as the council’s Nominating Chair. A dedicated advocate for Scouting, Will has played a key role in recruiting new Board members for VAHC and filling critical Chair positions. Will provides crucial insight and guidance to the President, officers, and Board and has played an instrumental role in the success of our Council’s operations.

Will Hill will be presented with the NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award at the FOS Luncheon on April 14 at the Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville.
