Watch the HCAM News video of the Good Scout Award ceremony held at the Hopkinton Country Club on June 8, 2011. More than 110 participants came to the reception to honor Brian Herr and Pete MacGregor, both exceptional community leaders and professionals. A special recognition was also presented to Colella’s Supermarket for their many years of service to the families of Hopkinton.
The Scouting program in Hopkinton has been serving youth and families for many decades. The Good Scout Award event raises necessary funds to support Scouting while recognizing those individuals who personify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and who have excelled in their chosen career or personal interests. This award has been presented to numerous leaders in the MetroWest area who have made significant contributions to their community.
Brian Herr has been very active running the Boston Marathon for 22 consecutive years in support of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and presently serves as a Selectman in the Town of Hopkinton. His leadership skills are widely recognized by the citizens of Hopkinton and the MetroWest region following a decade of municipal government involvement.
Pete MacGregor has been an active Unit Commissioner promoting the benefits of Scouting for the youth and families of Hopkinton with over forty dedicated years of service to Scouting in Massachusetts.
According to the co-chairs of the event, Scott Richardson & Rick Keough, the net proceeds for this year’s Good Scout Award Reception supporting Scouting in Hopkinton and the Knox Trail Council far surpassed budget expectations.
"The energy and enthusiasm for this year’s honorees, including Colella’s Supermarket, helped the event set a fundraising record," said Richardson. "Thank you for your support and generosity."
