Brendan Watson OAM Chief Commissioner Scouts Vic
TBA

'At 41 Hawthorn resident,  Brendan, was the youngest Chief Commissioner Scouts Victoria to be appointed under Royal Charter and in accordance with the Victorian Scout Act (1932) by the Chief Scout and Governor General of Australia, a position he has held since February 2014.

He's also Principal and CEO of Catholic Regional College Sydenham and Catholic Regional College Institute of Training (CRCIT). 

Brendan has been shot at twice, once by a tank in Russia where he was caught up in the coup of August 1991 and then again as one of the first civilians into Timor Leste following the UNTAET forces lead by General Cosgrove. He has recently arranged and managed a successful Royal Tour hosting His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden'.

Brendan’s future ambitions include building the most successful trades training centre in Australia.  With a bold vision and an unwavering desire to improve the quality of learning in Australia, he seeks to re-imagine secondary schooling as we know it by creating a differentiated curriculum which is both inclusive and engaging for students.  His mission also includes ensuring that postcode is never a determinant of the quality or level of education received by students.
