Hello,
My name is Tim Saxon, and I was born and raised in Riverside California. I served in the
Navy as a Supply and Logistics Officer, and I retired in 2022 after 28 years of service. I
have lived in Gig Harbor since 2012, and I am married to Meredith Saxon. I have 2 boys,
Tyler, (20) who earned his Eagle Scout in 2022 and Zachary (15) who earned his Eagle
scout in 2024 and is still with the troop.
After retiring from the Navy, I began working for Alaska Airlines. At Alaska Airlines, I lead
an awesome team of professionals, and we are responsible for managing all the spare
parts for the airline. In my free time I enjoy hiking, paddleboarding, traveling, and
spending time with my family.
My two favorite things about scouting are first, watching boys grow into young men. I
love seeing our Scouts taking on a leadership role, witnessing and encouraging hard
work, achieving success and building confidence and momentum to their next
leadership position. It's a remarkable process this time of their life and I love being a
part of it. And my second favorite thing is being outdoors with scouts who are learning
new skills and experiencing the outdoors in ways they possibly have not experienced
before.
Troop 212 has always prided themselves on building young boys into men and leaders
and teaching skills to become outdoorsmen. By being an active troop in the Gig Harbor
area, we have set the tone for this. My hope for the future is to maintain the strong
value of leadership and skills in place and grow our troop with opportunities to lead and
participate in the community as servant leaders.
