Roy "Rick" Rogers

Council Commissioner Roy “Rick” Rogers grew up in Rochester, MN, joining Cub Scouts in 1979. In Boy Scouts, Rick enjoyed many adventures, including winter camping in blizzard conditions, attending the 1981 National Jamboree, being inducted into the Order of the Arrow, and attaining Eagle in 1983. Rick’s experiences in an IBM Explorer Post introduced him to one of the first Personal Computer prototypes and cemented a lifelong love of Information Technology. Today Rick serves as a Vice President with an IT focus on educational assessments at Westat. Rick returned to Scouting in 2009 to give back to the movement that had influenced him so positively, and has served in many roles including Unit Commissioner, Assistant Council Commissioner, District Chairman, Crew Advisor, and Wood Badge staff. He has attended high adventure in Philmont, Northern Tier, and Sea Base. The friendships Rick has made with both youth and adults in Scouting have provided him with many blessings, illustrating the parable: “Give, and it shall be given to you.”
