John Teske Sr. has Raised Almost Two Million Dollars on Behalf of the Boy Scouts of America

    WAUKESHA, WI, June 05, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- John M. Teske Sr., Council and Retired District Chairman of the District Committee for the Boy Scouts of America, was recently named a VIP member of Worldwide Branding. This special distinction honors individuals who have shown exceptional commitment to achieving personal and professional success.

With nearly four decades of practiced experience in his field, Mr. Teske is uniquely qualified to manage a wide range of tasks on behalf of the Boy Scouts of America, where he has raised $1,750,000, which has brought all four of his districts over goal for the first time in three decades. Over the course of more than 30 years, in his role as council member, he has sat on more than 540 Eagle review boards and successfully nominated 15 leaders for the Silver Beaver award, the highest in their council. Inspired by his love of scouting and memories made with his son, he has also raised an additional $10,000 for the new scout office in Waukesha, Wis. Prior to joining the Boy Scouts of America, Mr. Teske worked at Bausch & Lomb for three and a half decades. Throughout the course of his extensive career, he has accomplished much, including setting up a deal where the next National Boy Scout Jamboree saved $60,000.00 on the purchase of 50 commercial grade disposals 110v. He also spent two weeks each staffing four National Jamborees in 1993, 1997, 2001 and 2005.

Without his family, Mr. Teske would not have been able to accomplish all that he has so far. He and his wife Mary have three children, John, a doctor, Melissa, a mom of three young children, and Luke, who is starting his own family with wife, Sarah. In addition to the support of his family, Mr. Teske's educational background, including a Bachelor of Science in business management from Marquette University, has attributed to his success in the field.

During the course of his remarkable career, Mr. Teske has maintained affiliation with The American Legion, the National Eagle Scout Association, and Camporee, where he is the founder. One of the highlights of his career stems from his work with Camporee; he helped 200 scouts plant 1,000 trees every year. He also served as the district chairman of the advancement committee for the Boy Scouts of America and district chairman of Friends of Scouting from 1992 until 2008, council chairman of Friends of Scouting from 2000 to 2008, staff member of the Boy Scout Jamboree in 1993, 1997, 2001 and 2005, and founder of the first council ski outing in 1995. He has been honored numerous times for his stellar work, including the Square Knot Award from the American Legion in 2008, the James E. West Fellow Award and Order of the Arrow in 1999, the Silver Beaver in 1997, The Saint George Emblem in 1995 and the William Boyce Award. The Boy Scouts of America also awarded him with a District Award of Merit in 1995. In the coming years, Mr. Teske aims to enjoy retirement with his six grandchildren, Ben, Calvin, Delaney, Sarah, Addison and Caroline. Additionally, he hopes to become a member of the Boy Scouts of America again!
