Southwest Florida Council, Million Dollar Day for Scouting

Description

Enjoy a great breakfast and keynote speaker Eagle Scout Chris Fogt Thursday, March 12, 2026. Chris Fogt, a native of Orange Park, Florida, is an Eagle Scout, and is currently the head coach of USA Olympic Bobsled Team. He competed at three Olympics, and won a Silver medal in the 4-man event at the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia. He is also an officer in the United States Army, having deployed to Iraq shortly after the Vancouver Olympics. He doesn’t see Scouting as something from his past. It’s part of his present and future, too. That’s why, somehow, Fogt makes time to be an adult volunteer. While stationed at Fort Hood, Fogt served as an assistant Scoutmaster with Troop 239 of the Longhorn Council. “Scouting helped me find my voice and shape the man I am now,” he says. “I really enjoyed those weekends where I got to go out and do Scouting stuff.” The Million Dollar Day for Scouting is about celebrating the positive effects the Scouting Movement is having in our communities. We anticipate that over 500 business & civic leaders will attend this prestigious event where we will share the positive impact of Scouting’s values-laden programs. We will also extend an opportunity for each of our guests to pledge their financial support to our premier youth development organization. I hope you will join us in supporting this worthwhile organization to ensure Scouting’s positive programs for the next 100 years.
