Thank You for Supporting the 2024 Cape May Distinguished Citizen Awards Dinner
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us on October 29 at the Wildwoods Convention Center for the 2024 Cape May County Distinguished Citizen Awards Dinner. This special evening honored community leaders Brendan Sciarra and Bill Kelly, whose commitment to civic service embodies the core values of Scouting.
This annual event not only celebrates exceptional individuals but also serves as a vital fundraiser for the Garden State Council. The funds raised support essential programs and resources for Scouts and volunteers throughout southern New Jersey, helping to strengthen our community and cultivate the next generation of leaders.
If you were unable to attend but would like to support the council, your contributions are always welcome and appreciated.
