Phi Mu Delta Members Chris Melillo and Nick Scarmozzino Volunteer at Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree

Phi Mu Delta is proud to celebrate two of their outstanding members, Chris Melillo and Nick Scarmozzino, recently volunteered at the Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree in West Virginia. As dedicated members of Phi Mu Delta, both Melillo and Scarmozzino represented their respective chapters at the event, showcasing their commitment to community engagement and fellowship. 

The Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree is a highly anticipated gathering that takes place every four years and brings together thousands of Boy Scouts from across the country. Hosted by the national organization of the Boy Scouts of America, this event provides an opportunity for Scouts to engage in various activities and forge lasting connections with fellow Scouts. This year over 15,000 Scouts attended the event.

“I not noticed on LinkedIn when we were preparing for the Jamboree that we were both Phi Mu Delta brothers, so we had an instant connection thanks to LinkedIn that we both had this in common, so we connected to each other before the Jamboree which led to us bringing our letters. Also, wanted I found out that Chris and I are both Eagle Scouts!” Shared Chris Melillo, a member of the Mu Psi provisional chapter. “ Working for the Jamboree social media team was a very unique experience. During the event we aimed to tell every story the Jamboree had. We had an awesome time getting to know Scouts and volunteers, and creatively telling their stories. I am glad to have exercised these communications skills, and look to bring them into my professional career.”

Similarly, Nick Scarmozzino, from the Mu Alpha chapter at Susquehanna University, shared his thoughts on the Jamboree: "As part of the National Jamboree communications team within web design, I learned the importance of detailed preparation because being organized made communication for this large event successful. Having this extraordinary opportunity to learn about web development, social media and marketing,  I look forward to bringing back these new skills to my Susquehanna Chapter while creating new opportunities for our chapter and our alumni!" 

Phi Mu Delta is a fraternity with a unique vision: to redefine fraternity by fostering a culture of lifelong civic engagement and fellowship. Through their involvement in events such as the Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree, members like Chris Melillo and Nick Scarmozzino exemplify the values and principles that Phi Mu Delta stands for.

"We are incredibly proud of Chris and Nick for their contributions to the Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree," said Rich Winter, Phi Mu Delta’s National Vice President. "Their dedication to serving their communities and engaging in meaningful fellowship is commendable. They truly embody the mission of Phi Mu Delta and inspire others around them."

Phi Mu Delta remains committed to supporting its members in their personal and professional growth, encouraging them to actively participate in events that promote civic engagement and make a positive impact on society.
