Special Events - W. D. Boyce Council, BSA

The W. D. Boyce Council hosts several social events each year where supporters of Scouting can enjoy fellowship, learn about the latest Scouting news and directly help ensure the financial stability of Scouting in Central Illinois.

Along with the opportunity to attend and support Scouting through your presence at these events, we also offer numerous sponsorship options for you, your company or your foundation. We can tailor these opportunities to highlight your specific Scouting interests, and we’re happy to provide appropriate recognition for your generous support.

We look forward to you joining us – and bringing your friends!

For more information regarding these events and sponsorship opportunities, please contact Priscilla Slaughter, Director of Development, at (309) 673-6136 or Priscilla.Slaughter@scouting.org.

George Meany Awards

Thousands of union members serve youth through the Boy Scouts of America in local areas. These members make a significant contribution by volunteering in our programs.
