AARON LANGLOIS

Community is something we build together.

Showing up, listening, and contributing wherever I can has always mattered to me.

GIVING BACK

Showing up and giving back.

Some of the most meaningful work I've done has been outside of a job description. Scouting, local government, and conservation work have all been part of that.

Scouting & service

An Eagle Scout and lifelong volunteer, I've served in local and national Scouting roles and helped celebrate the legacy of Treasure Valley Scout Reservation.

Local government

Years of service in Oakham and Massachusetts government strengthened my belief in transparency, thoughtful decisions, and making sure people have a voice.

Conservation & advocacy

I helped create a local nonprofit focused on Oakham’s rural character and safety, and have spoken and written publicly about issues affecting rural communities.

Volunteer consulting

I have also volunteered my healthcare experience to support the care of the aging and infirm monks at Saint Joseph’s Abbey.

WHAT I VALUE

Transparency. Service. Community.

Whether I’m working with a healthcare team, supporting Scouting, or taking part in local government, I believe people deserve a voice and decisions should be made in the open.

SCOUTING

A connection that started at camp.

I first attended Treasure Valley Scout Reservation in 1987, when I was ten. That connection has stayed with me through becoming an Eagle Scout and years of volunteer service.

Scouting helped shape how I think about leadership: be prepared, take responsibility, and leave things better than you found them.

Over the years, I have served on the Heart of New England Council Executive Board and on national Scouting committees focused on safeguarding, mental, emotional, and social health, and safety. I received the Silver Beaver Award for service to Scouting.

  • Worked with the Treasure Valley Alumni Association to reconnect people with camp and with one another.

NATIONAL SCOUT JAMBOREE · 2026

Making room for well-being.

I led Elevate Your Well-Being at the 2026 National Scout Jamboree, working with 22 volunteer staff, many of them young adults.

  • Helped create activities focused on hydration, sleep awareness, reflection, and everyday wellness.
  • Supported quiet spaces and a Listening Ear for participants who needed a pause or someone to talk with.
  • Worked with Know2Protect and Project iGuardian on youth safety education.
  • The program reached approximately 3,000 participants.

CONSERVATION & COMMUNITY ADVOCACY

Working to protect the place I call home.

I helped create Advocates for Conservation of Oakham’s Rural Nature & Safety, Inc. (theACORNS.org), a nonprofit formed to support the health, safety, environment, and rural character of Oakham and surrounding communities. I am no longer a member of its board or its chair. I remain involved in the ongoing Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB) process as a limited participant, acting in my personal capacity.

That work has included public comments and participation in regulatory proceedings concerning proposed battery energy storage development. I have also written guest commentaries and spoken with print and television news outlets about the issue. I have worked with the Rural Equity Alliance of Massachusetts on efforts to make sure rural communities have a voice in decisions that affect them.

VOLUNTEER CONSULTING

Supporting care in a different setting.

I have volunteered in a consulting role with Saint Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, supporting the care and needs of its aging and infirm monks. It has been a meaningful opportunity to bring my healthcare experience to a close-knit community.

OAKHAM & MASSACHUSETTS

Local service. A public voice.

Oakham has been home since 2005. My involvement in local government has reinforced my belief that people deserve clear information, a chance to be heard, and accountability from those making decisions.

  • Served nine years on the Oakham Board of Health.
  • Served on the Oakham Board of Selectmen.
  • Served on the Commonwealth’s Local Government Advisory Commission through a Massachusetts Municipal Association board seat.
  • Participated in municipal vulnerability preparedness and hazard mitigation planning.
  • Participated in public proceedings concerning proposed battery energy storage development, advocating for transparency, local permitting, and community involvement.

These are personal activities and views. This website does not speak for the organizations or public bodies mentioned here.

Service takes many forms.

Whether it’s helping plan a camp celebration, supporting young people, or asking questions at a public meeting, I believe showing up matters.
