2025 Update on The Texas Division of the Salvation Army Services

     Scott was born in Coshocton, Ohio, but has lived his entire life in Northern Virginia prior to moving to Georgetown, Texas in June 2023.  He has been affiliated with The Salvation Army his whole life attending church in Alexandria, Virginia.  It was there in 1987 that Scott met Sandra Smith who, being raised as a Salvation Army Officer’s child, grew up on the ministry field that led her to Alexandria, Virginia where she met Scott.  Scott and Sandy were married in March 1996.

     Scott graduated from George Mason University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History.  Following university studies, Scott began his professional career with The Salvation Army National Headquarters in 1995 in the Archives Department.  It was during this time that he obtained his Masters in Applied History degree in 2007.   In 2011, Scott became the National Headquarters Resource Center Director and continued in that position until June of 2023.

     Scott’s hobbies include playing the B flat tuba, watching Star Wars with his son Ben, and reading presidential biographies.  He is a loyal follower of all Washington, DC professional sports teams and everything Ohio (Go Buckeyes)!

     The greatest accomplishment that Scott and Sandra have took place in 2007 when God blessed them with their son, Benjamin Luke Bedio!  Scott, Sandy, and Ben reside in Round Rock and have fallen in love with serving in Williamson County!
