Spirit of Youth

As Nanuk Lodge Chief, Kinsey Shepard leads every aspect of the Great Alaska Council’s youth-driven Order of the Arrow program, guiding teens in planning inductions, organizing service projects, and shaping lodge operations. She strengthens Alaska’s Scouting community by coordinating major youth-led events, improving camp facilities through hands-on service, and fostering inclusive fellowship and training opportunities for younger Scouts. Kinsey is also a dedicated mentor, helping emerging youth leaders build confidence and develop real leadership skills. Through her collaborative, service-minded approach, she has created a stronger, more connected, and more youth-empowered lodge.
