The Good Scout Award Luncheon is one of the region’s largest networking events of the year drawing over 700 business and community leaders as the Scouting council’s most prominent fundraising event of the year.
“The mission and vision of Scouting transcends race, religion, gender, and geography,” said Zahn. “And each year it is incredibly humbling to see leaders, such as Paul Verst, come together to ensure Scouting continues to develop youth who are exceptionally prepared to lead in their own way to make a positive impact in their personal lives, professions, and communities throughout their lifetime.”
“Receiving the 2024 Good Scout Award is a great honor,” said Paul Verst, Chairman and CEO of Verst Logistics. “The Scouting program played a pivotal role in shaping my son Chris, who achieved Eagle Scout status in 2005 and is now the Director of Transportation at Verst. I am grateful to have the ability to co-chair and contribute to projects such as the Camp Michaels capital campaign and am excited to see the direct impact it will have on the community. I faithfully support and am genuinely dedicated to the Scouts’ mission and vision, and I look forward to witnessing how Dan Beard Council will leave a lasting, positive mark on our youth for generations to come.”
