The city’s brightest aligned at the waterfront Boston Harbor Hotel this past June for a night of celebration and recognition. The 44th annual Salute to Scouting Gala, hosted by Scouting Boston, drew a crowd of approximately 300 distinguished guests to honor the indomitable spirit of youth leadership and community service. Honorees Pamela Everhart, senior vice president of regional public affairs & community at Fidelity Investments, and Needham Bank Chairman/President/CEO Joe Campanelli received this year’s Ralph Lowell Distinguished Citizen Award while 19-year-old Mira Plante, one of the first history-making young women to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, who delivered an inspiring keynote address: Plante epitomizes the Spirit of Adventure Council’s groundbreaking commitment to diversity—a commitment underscored by the milestone fifth anniversary of welcoming girls into the iconic program. With WCVB-TV’s Karen Holmes Ward as master of ceremonies, the gala marked not just a return to form after the pandemic hiatus, but a bold step into a future where Scouting embraces all, under any name.
