Annual District Recognition Dinner

We Thank Our Leaders

Register for 2025 Dinner

2025's Golden Gate District Recognition dinner will be on:

TBA Date @ San Francisco Elks Lodge #3
(450 Post St, San Francisco). 

Scouts, scouters, friends and family are all invited to attend!

It Takes All Of Us

It takes over 400 registered adult leaders to deliver great scouting programs to over 1,000 youth in San Francisco / Daly City. The daily work of these dedicated volunteers deserves recognition, and each year we do so at our Golden Gate District Volunteer Recognition event. We need your award nominations, we hope to see you at the dinner and please send us your unit's photos/videos for the dinner slideshow!
