I interviewed at Scouting America (Las Vegas, NV) in Jan 2012
Interview
As with most employment, who you know in the profession is key. I would approach the process by networking with volunteers of the location in which you hope to work and being known to council board members and scout executive. You should volunteer if possible but don't be pegged as someone that can only see from a volunteer perspective.

Question 1
Nothing too crazy; all they are looking for is someone that can learn quickly, raise funds for the council and sell the policies and be a good teammate.
Usually 3 interviews- important to do research and come prepared on who is interviewing you. They like to know how you will interact with people as it’s very people facing.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Scouting America
Interview
Interview process moved so quickly which was awesome. Applied online through LinkedIn > first set up phone screening > after passing that had virtual interview > after moving on had in person interview > offer
2 zooms with Scout Executive and manager of program over the council. It is fairly quick. I was asked about my experience, working with volunteers, nonprofits and youth. There were benefits I explained along with pay, etc. The time commitment was totally dishonest, along with many of the other tasks.
