The BeatiDudes Scouting | Sean Magennis | Episode #277
Global executive and Scouting America leader Sean Magennis joins the tiny table to share how a life of worldwide leadership, deep friendship, and renewed faith has led him right back to serving young people.
Hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein walk with Sean through his years activating communities around the globe through YPO and Tiger 21, his time living and worshiping in places like Dubai, India, and Singapore, and his powerful experiences of the Church in many languages and cultures. Along the way, Sean reflects on the legacy of his late friend Rick Sapio, the grace of standing at his funeral and graveside, and how faith can remain an anchor even when our certainties and perspectives shift over time.
Now serving as an executive at Scouting America, Sean explains why he believes scouting is one of the most important youth movements in the world, especially because it keeps God at the center of its mission. He shares how the Scout Oath, the EDGE method of learning, and the wood badge formation are shaping kids into articulate, grounded leaders who know how to serve, collaborate, and persevere.
From multicultural outreach and trades training to Pinewood Derby dreams and alumni reengagement, Sean invites listeners to see scouting as a powerful way to invest in the next generation while staying rooted in Catholic faith, authentic fraternity, and a sense of joyful adventure.
