Golden West District Annual Dinner

Golden West District Annual Dinner 2025

Hi Leaders:

On Saturday evening, April 5th, the Goldenwest District held its annual awards dinner at the Lambertian Ministry Center in Garden Grove. 
About 200 guests attended the Hawaiian Luau themed event and everything went off without a hitch, and everyone had a great time.
Of special note is that The Goldenwest District had three District Award of Merit recipients: Amanada Penaloza (Troop 660 boys & girls), Roger Tran (Troop 1930), and Jeff Giaccomi (Troop 671) for their outstanding contributions to Scouting in the Goldenwest District. We also recognized St. Irenaeus Church for its outstanding support of Scouting in our district by virtue of presenting two representatives for the Church, Father Binh and Rolly Arenz, with the Golden West Outstanding Community Service Award.
