The “Good Scout” Award (GSA) is presented annually to a deserving individual at the Boy Scouts of America, Alamo Area Council’s largest special event, the Good Scout Luncheon. Started in 1982, this prestigious local award will list past honorees including majority Spurs owner, Peter Holt, former President, George W. Bush, General Colin Powell, Governor Rick Perry, and Spurs legend, David Robinson.
The GSA recognition is presented to those who exemplify in their daily life the ideals of the Boy Scouts of America as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law. Recipients are chosen for their outstanding community service, as evidenced by their leadership to many worth-while organizations, as well as the respect and esteem in which they are held by their colleagues.
