Seth Cannon
Instructor, Mentor & Founder of Cub Scouts 808: Seth Cannon is an educator, mentor, and parent in the International School of Hamburg community. With years of experience teaching and mentoring young adults in structured leadership environments, Seth has worked as an instructor at a U.S. service academy, guiding cadets through academic study, character development, and the transition into responsible leadership roles. His teaching philosophy emphasizes presence, accountability, and personal investment — building trust with young men by creating space for real conversations about identity, purpose, relationships, and responsibility. He believes that discipline is most effective when paired with connection, and that young men rise to high expectations when they feel known and respected. In Hamburg, Seth founded Cub Scouts 808, creating a community-based program where boys are given meaningful responsibility, learn practical skills, and experience teamwork through shared challenge. Through scouting and mentorship, he focuses on helping boys feel needed, trusted, and capable — key ingredients, in his view, for developing confident and compassionate young men.
