Jack demonstrates the continuous values and ideals of scouting through many community leadership roles, such as: Economic Development Partnership of Montgomery County (Board Member, 2008-2009; Executive Committee Vice Chairman, 2003) San Jacinto River Authority (Board of Directors, 2004-2011) Pulmonary Hypertension Association (Chairman, 2004-2006) Association for Corporate Growth (Founder Local Committee, 2002) Amegy Bank (Advisory Board Member, 1999-2005) South Montgomery County YMCA (Board, 1997) The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce (Chairman, 1995-1996) The Woodlands Rotary Club (Director, 1990-1995) K-Life of The Woodlands Christian Youth Ministry (Board, 2009).
Jack Stibbs shared, “There were two summers that I worked during college at the Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch in Colorado…One Summer I was the head quartermaster in charge of ordering all food and supplies and getting it out to the troops. The next Summer, I was what they called a provisional scout master in charge of handling kids that were recruited from the inner city in Denver to show them the out of doors and the scouting ways. Both interesting gigs.” Stibbs said that these two summers had such a strong impact in his life, proving further that the Boys Scouts of America provides a program that builds character, trains and develops young people.
