Good Scout Dinner

More than 150 community and business leaders gathered at Tappan Hill May 19 for the Westchester-Putnam Council, Boy Scouts of America”™s 2010 “Good Scout” Award Dinner.

The “Good Scout” Award is presented to those who exemplify in their daily lives the ideals of the Boy Scouts of America as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law.  The recipients are chosen for their outstanding community service as evidenced by the interest and leadership given to many worthwhile organizations as well as the respect and esteem in which they are held by their colleagues.
