On Sunday, August 4, 2024 the Washington Nationals welcomed National Capital Area Council to Scout Day as they took on the Milwaukee Brewers and won! Scouts were excited to see Scouting displayed on the stadium’s scoreboard.
The special adventure began with the exclusive opportunity to parade around the field before the game from the vantage point usually reserved for Major League Baseball players and staff.
One of the day’s highlights was when a Scout, Colin from Cub Scout Pack 295, had the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. He delivered the pitch to home plate with impressive accuracy earning applause from the crowd.
Greeting the Nats Line up as they ran onto the field was Cub Scout Pack 295 and Scouts BSA Troop 1396.
The line-up delivery was made by Maxine from Cub Scout Pack 436. She and the Nationals Manager delivered the list to the umpire at home plate.
Finish Line Ribbon Holders for the Presidents Race were Laurel and Camden. This event is held in the 4th inning of every game since 2006. George won!
This annual event was a collaborative effort by the Washington Nationals and National Capital Area Council, Scouting America to provide an experience to remember. Thank you to the Nats for sharing the joy of baseball!
