With over 35 years of experience as an entrepreneur and business leader, Mark H. Dunaway currently serves as managing member of BDK Consulting Group, an organization that assists middle-market companies in the health care and financial services industries. Alongside his various professional pursuits, Mark H. Dunaway dedicates his time and resources to groups such as the Boys Scouts of America.
As part of its efforts to encourage Scouts to support the country’s national parks system, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) oversees the Resource Stewardship Scout Ranger program. Through the program, Boy and Cub Scouts across the country take part in educational activities as well as volunteer service projects at local national parks. Those who participate learn about protecting natural resources and have the opportunity to earn BSA certificates and/or patches.
Recently, BSA and the National Parks System renewed their century-long partnership and helped to ensure that the Resources Stewardship Scout Ranger program and other collaborative activities will continue long into the future. BSA spends 60,000 hours on volunteer projects in national parks each year and has recently been focused on improving the area around the New River Gorge National River in West Virginia. In 2017, Scouts are working to complete the Camp Creek trail near the park’s Grandview Sandbar Campground.
