Leadership Breakfast & Luncheon...
Our Annual Leadership Breakfast is a Council fundraising event.  In 2006 we added a Leadership Luncheon in Spearfish which takes place shortly after the Leadership Breakfast in Rapid City. Community leaders are invited to dine, with the understanding that they will hear a stimulating message and make a donation to the Boy Scouts.
