The Garden State Council is proud to honor individuals who exemplify Scouting’s core values of leadership, determination, and community service. The Distinguished Citizen Award celebrates those who have strengthened Southern New Jersey, serving as role models for our youth and proving that character matters. Our Honorees inspire others through their dedication to community, encouraging the next generation to lead with integrity and commitment.
We invite you to support this year’s event. Your contribution helps us bring Scouting to over 4,000 youth across Southern New Jersey, including 330 youth in our ScoutReach initiative in Camden, where we cover registration, uniforms, and outdoor experiences to ensure all youth can benefit.
If you're unable to join us in person, you can still support our mission. A direct donation helps us honor exceptional community leaders and invest in the future of Scouting. Thank you for helping us build a stronger future.
