At the largest gathering of Boy Scouts in this decade, Indy Car team owner Dale Coyne and his wife, Gail, were honored for their contribution in this the Boy Scouts of America’s 100th Anniversary and 2010 National Scout Jamboree. An audience of nearly 80,000 on Saturday night were treated to great entertainment, a bright and prosperous outlook for the future, and tributes to those who have helped to make this 100th Anniversary year memorable, inspiring, and meaningful.
The Boy Scouts of America and Dale Coyne Racing have joined forces to expose young people to an innovative educational arena through the fun and excitement of auto racing. Chief Scout Executive Robert Mazzuca recognized the Coynes for their support of the BSA Indy Car during the 2010 racing season. “We can’t thank Dale and Gail Coyne enough for what they have done to show our Scouting family the relevance of education, science, and technology all on a very modern platform like Indy Car racing,” he said. Mazzuca spoke from the 375-foot main stage of the jamboree’s arena show, which was broadcast via podcast and the Internet to millions of Scouts worldwide. This mega gathering of Scouts takes place around every four years.
It was the perfect setting to laud Dale Coyne Racing and the BSA Indy Car’s stellar fourth-place finish at the Indianapolis 500 with driver Alex Lloyd. Lloyd and his wife, Samantha, also were on hand with many other supporters who have helped to make 2010 a special year for the Boy Scouts of America during its 100th Anniversary Celebration. The Coynes and Lloyds were treated to a special day of appearances and activities including media tours, an autograph session, and an aerial view of the jamboree site aboard a Blackhawk helicopter.
“To see this many outstanding youths in one location and the honor and dignity that they possess, gives great hope to the future of our next generation,” commented Dale Coyne. “This is our first jamboree, and it is a moving experience.”
