Andrew McMorris Foundation Hosts Awards Ceremony for 2025 Scholarship and Grant Recipients
We held our annual awards ceremony at the McMorris Lodge at Baiting Hollow Scout Camp.
Thank you to Gabby & Doug from InFocus and John Moore Troop 161 Scout for our photos, Amanda Vega & Robert Young of Zest Gourmet Catering for providing our awards luncheon, and Chase Hill of North Shore Party Rentals for our tent and tables.
We of course couldn’t do any of this without volunteers like Dot Young from Suffolk County Boy Scouts and Jim Grimaldi and Staff from the Baiting Hollow Scout Camp.

4 Grants: 1 Aviation Grant, 2 Eagle Scout Grants and 1 Fine Arts Grant
