Greenwich Council, Scouting America announces that on January 20, 2026 new Officers and a Board member were elected.
Jim Heavey, elected as Council President; Tim Peck, Vice President of Program; Christian Perry, Vice President of Membership and Camille Broderick to the Council Board.
Heavey, an Eagle Scout, is a lifelong Scouter with the Greenwich Council. He earned his Eagle Scout rank with Troop 25 at age 17. As an adult, he has remained active in the Greenwich Scouting program, serving in multiple leadership positions over the years, most recently as District Commissioner.
At the troop level, Heavey has done four stints as Council Scoutmaster, leading Scouts at the National Jamboree, and as crew advisor on four treks to Philmont Scout Ranch, a high adventure base in Cimarron, New Mexico.
Scouting is a family passion for Heavey; his son, James, earned his Eagle rank in Troop 35 and continues to assist at Greenwich Council Scout events; daughter Ana, a Gold Award Girl Scout, spent summers as a counselor at Camp Seton; and wife Kia volunteered as a Scouter for decades, including a 20-year stint as Fishing Derby chair.
Outside of Scouting, Heavey serves as Greenwich Police Chief. He also volunteers around town, notably as past Chief and President of the Glenville Volunteer Fire Co. and on the board of the Metro North Chapter of the American Red Cross.
As council president, Heavey will serve as the senior volunteer leader of the Greenwich Council. He says that his goals include “increasing membership, providing outstanding program, offering leadership training to our adult volunteers, and returning the promise of Scouting that has been so influential in my own life and that of my family.”
The Greenwich Council extends its great gratitude to outgoing President Jim Adams, who served the past two years in the position.
