The luncheon will be held on Thursday, May 30th, at the Irvine Marriott Hotel with a reception beginning at 11:15a.m.

"The luncheon celebrates the tremendous philanthropic contributions that our organization receives from the local real estate community, and Watty and Don are two exemplary examples of that support," said Jeff Herrmann, president and Scout Executive for the OCBSA.

John Hagestad, a past recipient of the Good Scout Award and managing director of the Sares Regis Group, will emcee the event.
