General Jim Mattis speaks at Annual Community Leadership Breakfast.
With more than 500 guests in attendance, the annual Community Leadership Breakfast on May 5th was a stellar success. General Jim Mattis captivated the audience with comments on leadership, world affairs, and the importance of Scouting for today’s youth.
Thank you to all who participated and supported Scouting. The event raises funds for the Annual Friends of Scouting campaign to support 9,000 youth in local Scouting.

A message from our Friends of Scouting Chair, Kevin Surace
Dear friends,
I hope you were as blown away with General Mattis’ words as we were. He knows as we do that high integrity leadership is critical for the future of our country. We are $50,000 short of our goal. If he touched you with his words, would you be able to help us out with a donation of $100 to $1000 to help us reach our goal. As a little bonus today…here are some of the general’s most impactful words. Enjoy.
P.S. If you made your gift before hearing General Mattis, here is your chance to double down for maximum impact for local Scouting. We know you will be inspired.

Thank You To Our Sponsors
