Host Spotlight

Gateway Scouting is proud to recognize and thank the Kerrigan family for serving as hosts of the 2026 Lawn Social.

Through their years in Scouting, the Kerrigans have seen firsthand how Scouting helps young people grow into confident, capable leaders. From learning practical outdoor skills and making lifelong friendships to exploring new adventures at Camp Decorah and beyond, Scouting creates experiences that shape character and build resilience.

The Kerrigan family believes deeply in the power of Scouting to provide mentorship, structure, and opportunities for young people to discover their strengths and meet life's challenges with confidence.

Their commitment to ensuring future generations can experience the same benefits is one of the many reasons we're grateful for their support and leadership.

Please join us in thanking the Kerrigan family and supporting the mission of Scouting as we work together to bring the joy, values, and lifelong benefits of Scouting to youth throughout our communities.
