Council, Boy Scouts of America, is pleased to recognize exceptional community members at its 14th Annual Whitney
M. Young, Jr. Service Award Celebration on October 20, 2022. The event will be held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago at 6:30pm.
This year’s honorees include Mrs. Juanita Temple, Mr. Robert Woods, Scoutmaster of Troop 755, Mr. D. Keith Ross, and the University of Illinois Chicago.
Established by the Boy Scouts of America, the Whitney M. Young, Jr. Service Award recognizes outstanding service by an adult individual or by an organization for demonstrated involvement in the development and implementation of Scouting opportunities for youth from rural or low-income urban backgrounds. All four of this year’s honorees are heavily involved in Pathway to Adventure Council making Scouting affordable through this and other means. It ensures that Scouting is affordable in every community and aids with funding for such items as uniforms, transportation, and activities that are vital to the success of our youth participants. Scouting teaches real-life lessons that will guide these young people personally and professionally throughout their lives.
The Pathway to Adventure Council invites community members to join us in honoring this year’s Whitney M. Young, Jr. Service Award recipients. For more information on the event, please contact Pathway to Adventure Council Development Director, Brooke Parker, at (312) 421-8800 ext. 213. Proceeds from the event will ensure that Scouting is afforded to all communities, regardless of circumstance.
