Celebrating Miller Adams, 2021 Pillar of Puget Sound
A BIG Thank You to our 2021 Mariners Scout Luncheon Supporters
Thank you to all of our donors and program speakers who helped Chief Seattle Council recognize Miller Adams as the 2021 Pillar of Puget Sound. The Pillar of Puget Sound award recognizes an individual each year for their contributions to Scouting and the Seattle community. Past recipients include Phil Condit, Charles Pigott, Wayne Perry, Michael Garvey, William Gates Sr, Gov. Dan Evans, Scott Oki, Howard Lincoln, Dr. Robert Gates, and Gov. Gary Locke. The council is grateful to the Seattle Mariners for continuing their 23-year-long partnership with this event, and to Rick Rizzs for reprising his role as event emcee.
Council Board President Torque Zubeck, and council CEO Manny Ramos delivered a state of the council report, and a panel of four Scouts interviewed Mariners players Brandon Brennan and Donovan Walton.
During the weekend of February 5-7, Chief Seattle Council will be updating its website. Effort has been taken to ensure a smooth transition, but it's possible some links may no longer work during this process. Thank you for your patience as we work to keep our website as up-to-date as possible.
The council's web address will remain the same at seattlebsa.org.
