Investing in Character & Leadership
Honoring 100+ Years of Scouting • America 250 • On the Mississippi
As we look ahead to America’s 250th anniversary, we also honor more than 100 years of Scouting, celebrating the character, citizenship, and leadership. Scouting has fostered in generations in our communities.
Please join us for an evening of fun, food, drinks, raffles, silent auctions and community spirit as we celebrate youth—set against the timeless backdrop of the Mississippi and inspired by the charm of riverboats and paddlewheels that helped shape our region.
Our hosts, Mark and Mary Kerrigan personally invite all champions of children and friends of Scouting throughout the Coulee Region to gather at their home on the river for this one‑of‑a‑kind celebration of heritage, service, and community.
