Ward and Smith Sponsors 2026 Friends of Scouting Luncheon

The 2026 Friends of Scouting Luncheon brought community leaders, supporters, and Scouting advocates together on October 2 at the Atlantic Union Bank Convention Center to invest in programs that help young people build confidence, character, and practical life skills.

Friends of Scouting provides essential support for year-round Scouting opportunities, including outdoor experiences, leadership development, service projects, and programs that prepare young people to make a positive difference in their communities. The luncheon also offers an opportunity for business and civic leaders to connect around a shared commitment to the next generation.

Ward and Smith was honored to sponsor this year’s luncheon.
