You’re Invited to an Evening of Inspiration at Camp Chesebrough!

Join us on Sunday, September 14 at the beautiful Chesebrough Scout Reservation for the 2025 Heritage Reception—an evening of connection, celebration, and a glimpse into Scouting’s bright future.

From 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., enjoy light snacks, refreshing beverages, and great conversation with fellow Scouting supporters before we share some exciting news about the SVMBC Endowment.

Here’s what’s in store:

• A first look at our brand-new Endowment video.
• Inspiring words from Mike Surbaugh (13th Chief Scout Executive) and Ron Nydam (SVMBC Endowment Chair).
• A very special guest from the Salinas School System.
• The exciting rollout of a $2M Endowment Challenge Matching Gift Program—your support can go twice as far!

This reception is our way of saying “thank you” for everything you do to keep Scouting strong. Whether you’re already part of the Endowment family or just curious to learn more, this is the perfect evening to connect and be inspired.

Cost: Absolutely free—our treat! (Thanks to the SVMBC Philanthropy Committee.)

We can’t wait to see you there!
