ScoutReach on TODAY with Jenna & Friends

Viewers tuning into the TODAY with Jenna & Friends hour were treated to something truly special on March 28th, 2025! Eagle Scout and guest co-host Henry Hager was joined by Andrew Fortune, our dedicated ScoutReach Executive, for a heartfelt spotlight on the ScoutReach program, which brings Scouting to under-resourced communities across Central Virginia.

Led by a passionate team—Andrew Fortune, Myron Kidd, and Bradley Carroll, Jr.—ScoutReach continues to change lives, one Scout at a time. Andrew’s impactful leadership was front and center, and his recognition was well deserved!  The segment ended with an emotional surprise as Henry was reunited with his Troop 444 Scoutmaster, our very own Ian Coddington—a full-circle Scouting moment we won’t forget.
We’re deeply grateful to the Scouts and parents of Troop 438, the Anna Julia Cooper School, and the TODAY Show team for showcasing the power of Scouting.  A very special thank you to Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate for their incredibly generous $5,000 donation in support of ScoutReach and the amazing work Andrew and his team continue to do!
