Local nonprofit Los Padres Council, BSA invites Santa Barbara community members to attend the Salute to Scouting event, which takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28, in the Santa Barbara Club courtyard, 1105 Chapala St., Santa Barbara.
The fundraiser is designed to support Scouting on the Central Coast and recognize two local leaders — John Brinker and Lani Meanley Collins — who have helped build character and leadership in Santa Barbara County youth.
Brinker will be honored with the National Eagle Scout Association’s Outstanding Eagle Scout Award. Collins, a Santa Barbara attorney, will receive Los Padres Council’s Legacy Award. The honorees have been selected for their work to promote the values of Scouting in their lives and in the community and for their support and service to Boy Scouts, Outdoor School at Camp Rancho Alegre, and other causes.
Registration is $150 per ticket and all proceeds raised at this event will go toward supporting local Scouting. To register or to donate online, visit www.lpcbsa.org. Sponsorship and advertisement opportunities are also available.
