- What is the Seminole County Boy Scouts of America Golden Eagle Social?
- The Boy Scouts of America Golden Eagle Social is the annual fundraising event that helps make Scouting happen in Seminole County. It brings together business, civic and political leaders of our community to share the story of Scouting’s impact on our youth. The Golden Eagle Social also affords us the opportunity to honor great community leaders for their service.
- Who’s going to be at the Seminole County Golden Eagle Social?
- In 2019, more than 230 community leaders attended the Golden Eagle Event. The campaign is led and organized by a team of volunteers. Over 15-community leaders help identify and recruit corporate sponsors, campaign volunteers, event attendees and donors. Our 2021 Event Chairs are Tim Smith, Executive Vice President of Wharton Smith, Inc and Susie Dolan, Director of Community Affairs and Government Relations of Waste Pro.
- How much does it cost to attend the Seminole County Golden Eagle Social?
- There is no ticket cost to attend the Golden Eagle Social. All attendees will be asked to consider a pledge during the event. The pledge form will request an amount based on their history of giving with the Boy Scouts of America. If they have no history, they will be asked to consider a gift that supports two Scouts for 2021- $300. Pledges can be paid at once, monthly or quarterly.
- What is the 2021 Seminole County Golden Eagle Social fundraising goal?
- The goal of the 2021 Boy Scout Golden Eagle Social is to raise over $200,000 to help make Scouting happen in Seminole County. The Central Florida Council serves seven counties including Brevard, Flagler, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia.
- What does the fundraising accomplish?
- The fundraising from this event helps us provide unparalleled experiences for more youth! Scouting serves more than 23,000 families throughout Central Florida, including 5,800 registered volunteers. Since our last Golden Eagle Event, across Central Florida we have recruited over 10,000 new youth into the Scouting program, including 2,560 girls – and this number keeps growing! Last year Scouts completed 406 Eagle Service projects contributing over 69,000 hours of service.
Last year Seminole County produced 60 Eagle Scouts, recruited over 2,800 youth to participate in our local Scouting Program and collected 26,062 pounds of food to donate to our local food banks.
Thank you for your support of Scouting in Seminole County!
