52nd Annual Joshua Huddy Gala
52nd Joshua Huddy Gala
Morganville, NJ — October 22, 2025 —Monmouth Council, Scouting America, announces the cancellation of the 52nd Joshua Huddy Distinguished Citizen Award Gala, originally scheduled for December 2, 2025. This decision was made after thoughtful consideration and in consultation with community partners and volunteers.
The Joshua Huddy Distinguished Citizen Award Gala has been a cornerstone of civic recognition in Monmouth County for over five decades, honoring local leaders whose service reflects the values of courage, commitment, and community. While we are disappointed not to gather this year, we remain committed to celebrating the great tradition of this event and the community leaders we recognize each year.
This announcement comes during a historic year for Scouting America, which celebrated its 115th anniversary on February 8, 2025, marking its official transition to a new name and renewed mission. Monmouth Council, founded in 1917, continues to serve youth across Monmouth and Middlesex Counties, offering transformative programs that build leadership, character, and citizenship.
