CHAMPIONS 
OF SCOUTING

An evening on
the USS Midway

Step onto the flight deck of the USS Midway as the sun drops over San Diego Bay. The evening opens with a reception among the aircraft — cocktails, conversation, and a view this city can't match anywhere else. Dinner follows under the stars, then a program honoring Medal of Honor recipient, Naval Aviator, and Distinguished Eagle Scout Captain Royce Williams — a man whose life is Scouting's promise made real. A tribute video, remarks, and live music close out the night beneath an open sky. One evening aboard a ship that helped defend the country, spent investing in the young people who will lead it next.
