Proceeds from the event will support more than 3,500 youth involved in scouting on the Central Coast
– Scouting America Los Padres Council will host its annual Boots & Bling event on Sept. 19 at the Cypress Ridge Pavilion in Arroyo Grande. The western-themed evening will begin at 6 p.m. and include a reception, dinner, entertainment, live and silent auctions, prizes, and the presentation of two community awards.
This year’s honorees are John Sorgenfrei, who will receive the National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award, and Chris McKiernan, who will be presented with the Los Padres Council Legacy Award.
Proceeds from the event will support more than 3,500 youth involved in Scouting, Camp Rancho Alegre, and The Outdoor School across Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
“We’re thrilled to bring the community together to celebrate local leaders and raise essential funds for programs that build character, leadership, and outdoor skills in our youth,” said Carlos Cortez, Scout Executive of Scouting America Los Padres Council. “From The Outdoor School’s environmental education to year-round Scouting programs, every dollar raised helps ensure access for youth from all backgrounds.”
Sponsorship packages, tribute journal ads, and individual tickets are available. Community members and businesses may support the event by attending, donating auction items, or sponsoring a table.
The event will take place at Cypress Ridge Pavilion, 1050 Cypress Ridge Parkway, Arroyo Grande. Ticket and sponsorship information is available at https://scoutingevent.com/053-98229.
