The Snohomish County Good Scout Breakfast will be held on Wednesday, April 12th, 2017 at the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center, 2000 Hewitt Avenue in Everett. Registration is from 7:00 – 7:30 am, with the breakfast program beginning at 7:30 am.
This year’s keynote speaker is Brad Tilden, CEO of Alaska Airlines.
Brad Tilden serves as the Chairman and CEO of Alaska Air Group, which oversees Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air. A Seattle native, Tilden grew up a few miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where he developed an early love of aviation. He often rode his bike to the airport to watch Alaska jets take off and land.
A recognized leader, Tilden was ranked #22 among the Top 50 American Corporate Leaders by Fortune magazine. He has also been recognized by the Puget Sound Business Journal as Executive of the Year, and by the Boy Scouts of America as a Distinguished Eagle Scout. Tilden chairs the board of the Washington Roundtable and he serves on the boards of the Boy Scouts of America, Nordstrom and Pacific Lutheran University.
This is a complementary event, with a request for your financial support of local Scouting’s character building programs. We are working to raise $75,000 to benefit local Scouting. Our theme is “Values that Last a Lifetime” and focuses on the positive results Scouting has in our communities.

Come spend an exciting and memorable weekend in the snow with us! Learn how to build an igloo and stay warm! Learn to identify dangerous avalanche conditions and how to avoid them. Learn basic winter survival skills and first aid. The seminar addresses all aspects of winter camping and outdoor travel in a condensed class room session that assumes basic backpacking knowledge and builds on that for a fun and safe experience in the winter.
The Winter Camping Seminar has two parts: a full day classroom session where you learn the necessary skills, and then a field trip where you put those skills to action by building an igloo and sleeping in it! To participate, boys must be at least 14 years old. This is a requirement due to the heavy lifting of snow blocks, the challenging work and extreme conditions the boys will be in. The class welcomes and encourages older scouts to assist as junior leaders.
Reservations are made on a first come, first served basis. Field trip is limited to the first 100 registrants. Full payment ($15) is due at time of registration. Complete registration form and remit with payment. Registration closes on January 30th, 2017.
