Presenting the Kim & George Vincent Class of Eagle Scouts! |
On Saturday, June 19, 2021, Dan Beard Council convened a special Court of Honor at The Summit Country Day School in Walnut Hills to recognize Dan Beard Council’s most recent class of Eagle Scouts, and recognize two of our region’s leaders, Kim & George Vincent.
A special thank you to dozens of donors who contributed over $100,000 to support the leadership development programs of the Dan Beard Council! Normally held in February in downtown Cincinnati, the annual Eagle Scout Court of Honor was postponed to allow for a safe, in-person outdoor celebration in 2021. 300 young men and women who recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout are proud members of the Kim & George Vincent Class of Eagle Scouts!
