12TH ANNUAL GOOD SCOUT AWARDS DINNER

Boy Scouts of America, Patriots’ Path Council will be honoring local citizens at the 12th Annual Berkeley Heights Good Scout Awards Dinner to be held on the evening of Wednesday, October 4, 2017 at The Primavera Regency in Stirling starting at 6:30pm. This year’s honorees are Patti Broccoli, Jim DiMaio, Mike Higgins, Bobbie Peer, and Tracy and Chris Procaccini. The event recognizes these six outstanding citizens for their community service, as evidenced by their leadership and interests within the Berkeley Heights community, and for their embodiment of the values of the century old Scout Oath and Law in their personal and professional lives. The event chairman is Denis Smalley, a past Berkeley Heights Good Scout Award recipient and an active volunteer in the Berkeley Heights community.
Berkeley Heights has a very active Scouting program for over 100 youth in three Cub Scout packs (for boys ages 7 to 11 years) and two Boy Scout troops (for boys ages 11-18), sponsored by the Rotary Club of Berkeley Heights and one Explorer Post (for boys and girls ages 14-20) sponsored by the Berkeley Heights Volunteer Rescue Squad. Berkeley Heights is a part of the Watchung Mountain District of the Patriots’ Path Council, Boy Scouts of America.
