The event was a fitting tribute to Mr. Evans, who has been a steadfast supporter of Scouting for many years. His dedication to helping local youth grow into outstanding citizens has had a lasting impact on the lives of many in the Inland Empire. The Old Baldy District and all of the Scouts thank R. Dale Evans, Sr. for his unwavering commitment to the program and to the young people it serves.
