An Evening of Impact

This special evening will bring together community leaders, advocates, and supporters for an inspiring program beginning with a reception from 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM, followed by a plated dinner and a wonderful program.

 

Together, we will celebrate trailblazing women who lead with purpose, inspire change, and strengthen our communities.

 

Your partnership directly impacts youth by helping them develop leadership, character, and life-changing skills through Scouting programs—especially in underserved communities where these opportunities matter most.

Honoring Trailblazing Women

We are proud to honor distinguished women who exemplify leadership and service:

  • Distinguished Citizen Award (DCAD) Recipient(s)

Restoring the Village Focus

The Gulf Stream Council's initiative to extend Scouting's reach to all youth encompasses Belle Glade and Riviera Beach and throughout South Florida, where many promising young people face daunting challenges.

  • Poverty
  • Violence
  • Crime
  • Gang Involvement
  • Limited Parental Engagement

These difficulties significantly impede their prospects for future success, perpetuating a cycle of despair across generations.

Our Mission

Our mission is to forge a meaningful alliance among Scouting, community leaders, and at-risk youth, empowering young people in struggling neighborhoods with essential values, resources, opportunities, and mentors to cultivate a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

Our Solution

The Restoring the Village initiative aims to alter young people's perspectives by offering a more fulfilling alternative to the transient excitement and enduring hardship associated with street life.

 

While traditional Scouting units often rely on parental volunteers for leadership, Restoring the Village adapts to the realities of single-parent households by engaging positive community figures as volunteers.

 

Supported by scouting professionals, these leaders impart crucial life skills, outdoor experiences, career readiness, a dedication to community service, and a positive mindset, instilling in their charges the ethos of being:

 

Prepared. For Life.
