Scouting Forward Dinner – Featuring Speaker Terry Fossum

We are thrilled to announce Terry Fossum will be this year’s Scouting Forward speaker.

Mark your calenders for the Scouting Forward celebration which will take place on Thursday, November 21st at the Park Avenue Club. This year’s event will be a dinner beginning at 6:00 p.m. and will serve as the kick-off to the 2025 Friends of Scouting campaign. Our goal is to raise more than $250,000 by attending the event and inviting friends, family, and business colleagues, along with our Scouting friends, to renew their support or become a new donor.

All contributions can be pledged to the council, your district or your unit so that everyone feels good about where their contribution is recognized.

More information on how to register for the event and how to make your pledge will be coming out shortly.  Contact Joseph Gonella at 973-713-5628 or [email protected]
