The Distinguished Citizen Award recognizes noteworthy and extraordinary leadership of citizens in communities across the US. Honoring distinguished citizenship delivers a message to our youth that character counts. The lives of distinguished citizens put into place guideposts that serve to inspire our youth to lead, to accept responsibility, and to care about principles and causes beyond self-interest.  

Proceeds from this event will directly benefit the Pacific Skyline Council camps and ScoutReach underserved youth. The Pacific Skyline Council, Boy Scouts of America serves all the communities from Daly City and South San Francisco in the north, to Los Altos and Mountain View in the south, to the coast on the west.

We want ALL youth, regardless of economic circumstances to have an enriching and life-changing Scouting experience! Attending summer camp is part of that experience. At PacSky we have three facilities, Camp Oljato in the High Sierra, Boulder Creek Scout Reservation in the Santa Cruz mountains and Cutter Scout Reservation next to Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Oljato offers an amazing summer camp experience for the older Scouts. Boulder Creek Scout Reservation hosts many of our council activities such as Cub-Ons, Gold Rush, and Cub Parent Weekend to name a few. Cutter Scout Reservation is still in the rebuilding process.

All donors who make a gift at one of the sponsor levels will be recognized at the event and on our website.
