The Hazleton Friends of Scouting Dinner is being held on Thursday, May 22, 2025 (reception 6:00 p.m., dinner & program 7:00 p.m.) at Valley Country Club, Sugarloaf, PA. This year we are proud to honor David Argall, PA State Senator (29th District), as our Distinguished Citizen Award honoree. In addition, we will honor Kenneth Wenner with the Wayne Oberst Good Scout Award. This is sure to be a great event benefiting our local Scouting programs. Scouting provides character development, leadership skills, achievement, and much more to the youth of our area.

This event is an opportunity for Scouts to compete and test your skills in Marksmanship. This will be our Second Annual Marksmanship Madness event. Scouts will learn NRA’s rules for safe gun handling; range rules; and we be shooting Rifles, Shotgun and Archery. At the end of the event Scores will be tallied and winners will be awarded. We are hoping to have another successful event.

You’re invited to participate in our annual Lehigh Valley Golf Classic on Monday, September 22, 2025 and make a positive difference for our Scouts. Brookside Country Club in Macungie, PA will host our event. The Golf Classic always sets a high standard among golf events with a great course, great food, and terrific gift packages for all players … all while supporting a great cause, Scouts from disadvantaged homes in our area. Proceeds directly support local Scouting for at-risk youth. Many of these youth are from single-parent families and inner-city schools with poverty rates of 90% or more. Through your support, Scouting’s leadership development and character-building program is provided to these young people at no cost to them or their families. Our tournament will be divided into morning and afternoon flights, and will be a scramble, best ball format. Great food will be provided for both flights along with on-course refreshments. Please reserve your foursome or sponsorship today to ensure the flight of your choice. Please remember that all gifts made to our local Scout council stay local to support Scouting in this area.
