The Boy Scouts of America had a major impact on the life of Nathan Shoaff, a Strongsville resident who died December 13, 2021, due to health complications from Covid. He loved camping, the outdoors, and providing cheerful service to his fellow Scouts and community. Nathan was the son of Linda and Matt Shoaff, and older brother of Abbey. He was a 2014 graduate of Strongsville High School and Polaris Career Center.
National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is a weeklong premier leadership development course, teaching Scouts skills such as situational leadership styles, managing change, conflict resolution, and the stages of team development. Nathan was selected to attend NYLT as a participant and continued to volunteer as course staff for four years.
Nathan is remembered as a gentle young man who loved Scouting and serving others. He was quick to smile and always ready to help.
In honor of Nathan, his family has requested that any contributions be donated to this Memorial Fund in his memory. The proceeds of this fund will help other Scouts have the opportunity to become future leaders through the NYLT Program.
