Sheraton Hotel in South Burlington

The Distinguished Citizen Award from the Green Mountain Council, Boy Scouts of America, is presented to individuals who have exemplified strong leadership and support for families and children throughout the state.  It has been presented to Vermont's outstanding citizens for more than a quarter century. This year it is being awarded to US Senator Bernie Sanders.

Last year, the Green Mountain Council awarded at least $15,000 to more than 300 Vermont children who otherwise could not have afforded to attend the Green Mountain Council summer camp programs and Scouting activities throughout the year.  The Council serves the entire State of Vermont.

For more information on how to register for the dinner call the Center for Scouting in Waterbury at 802-244-5189.
