Friends of Scouting Breakfast - "Excellence in the Making" - Fri. Feb. 23The Excellence in the Making Breakfast is an annual Friends of Scouting event to benefit the youth of the Redwood Empire Council in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, at which each participant makes his/her FOS pledge of support for the coming year. This fast-paced, one-hour inspirational breakfast provides business and civic leaders, professionals, and parents with the opportunity to learn more about the vital work of the Boy Scouts of America and hear from an enjoyable and engaging speaker. Our 2018 speaker is Michael Malone, author of numerous books including "Four Percent" which describes the evolution of the Eagle Scout recognition, short biographies of Eagle Scouts, and the impact of Eagle Scout achievement on American society. Previous FOS breakfast guest speakers have included: W.F. "Rick" Cronk, president of Dreyers Grand Ice Cream and past BSA National President Eagle Scout Jim Rogers, president and CEO of Kampgrounds of America (KOA) and past BSA Western Region President Robert Pinoli, president and CEO of Mendocino Railway, operator of the “Skunk Train” Anthony Slater, sports beat writer for the 2017 champion Golden State Warriors NBA team
