Boy Scout breakfast Thursday

COEUR d'ALENE - The Inland Northwest Council of the Boy Scouts of America will host its annual leadership breakfast Thursday at the Coeur d'Alene Resort.

The breakfast, which begins at 7 a.m., is expected to draw more than 150 business and community leaders and this year's guest speaker is Will Steger.

Steger, who is known as a pioneer in the field of polar exploration, is the fourth person in the world to reach both poles. He was the first man to successfully complete an unsupported journey to the North Pole, which involved a 1,200 mile expedition between Russia and Ellesmere Island.

The breakfast is free to participants and there are no tickets, but attendees are asked to make a pledge or contribution to the program.
