The Iroquois Trail Council Boy Scouts of America will recognize five distinguished citizens at the 35th Annual BoyPower Dinner scheduled for June 2 at Genesee Community College.
The BoyPower Distinguished Citizen’s Recognition recognizes positive county-wide impact through community and professional service, and a long tenure of service both through business and personal involvement in community causes.

The annual Boy Power Dinner is the premier event to raise funds to support scouting programs for over 4,000 boys from 7-20 years of age and girls ages 14-21 in Genesee, Wyoming, Orleans, Eastern Niagara and Livingston counties.
“The financial investment in the future of our youth will advance the development of these leaders of tomorrow,” said Roger W. Triftshauser, D.D.S., BoyPower Dinner Chairperson.
