Background

Bucking practice, the Boy Scouts of America selected Mosby, not a professional Scouter, as their president and CEO. He does not bear the title Chief Scout Executive as that title is reserved for professional Scouters with specific training. Though not a Scouting professional, Mosby was a youth member in the Egyptian Council, a long-time volunteer in the Mid-America and Sam Houston Area councils. Mosby has also worked at the regional and national levels of the BSA. He has also volunteered with the World Organization of the Scout Movement.
Before his selection as president and CEO, he ran his own consulting firm after retiring as an energy industry executive.

Awards

Mosby has been recognized with the Silver Beaver Award, Silver Antelope Award, and the Vigil Honor of the Order of the Arrow.
