Exciting news!

It is hard to believe, but it's been 20 years since the Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Project took place. We would be remiss if we didn't take advantage of this opportunity to celebrate the spectacular accomplishments of two decades ago. It's also a perfect occasion to catch up with old friends who shared this once-in-a-lifetime experience with you.

Although the focus for this gathering is on the Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Project, all alumni, family members, and friends of the Madison Scouts are cordially invited to attend.

The vehicle for this event will be a banquet featuring a great meal, a nostalgic audiovisual presentation, and plenty of time to interact and enjoy others who share a common bond. The date is Saturday, July 25, 2026, and the location is the Doubletree Hilton Madison East Hotel. We will send details on the ticket ordering schedule and room reservations in early April.

We look forward to future communications with you and to sharing what promises to be a memorable evening.

May You Never Walk Alone,
Scott Stewart, Scott Pearson, Randy Ferrie.

Planning for 2026 starts now, so get involved!

Hi everybody! 2026 is around the corner, and I want to take a moment to thank everybody who made 2025 a great year for the MSAA.

To everybody who volunteered with the MSAA in 2025, you were invaluable in making 2025 the best year the MSAA has had yet. Whether you’re on the MSAA board, helped out at a tailgate, ran a concession stand, or bought a shirt, you helped us raise funds, put on more events, and make more connections than ever before. Your passion for the Madison Scouts is unmatched. I hope you continue volunteering in 2026 and beyond.

 In 2026, we’ll need just as much support as last year. We don’t want last year to be our peak; we’re still trying to make every year better. We’re planning for:

Annual Member Meeting on Nov 2nd, 7 pm CT!

Hello Madison Scouts Alumni!

The MSAA will be holding a Member Meeting on November 2nd, 2025, at 7 PM CST. The goal of this meeting will be to discuss board elections, Hall of Fame nominations, off-season plans, and let you know what else we have in store for next year. The meeting will be available via Zoom and live-streamed in our Facebook Group. To register for this meeting, use the link below. You must use the name and email address listed in your CorpsData account, or your attendance may not be counted. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with details on joining the meeting. Use this Registration Link.

This production was inspired and produced by Joe Murray, Madison Scouts Alumnus (1972-1976). He interviews a surviving member of that group via Zoom video, Michael "Monk" Madigan, Madison Scouts Alumnus (1963-1970). Four percussion members were sharing the stage and ultimately earned the first-place medal for best quartet: Mike Riccio and Bob Van Etten, Jr. on snare drum, Mike Madigan on tenor drum, and Jack Ledford on bass drum.

Election season is here!

The Madison Scouts Alumni Association is looking for dedicated leaders to serve on the MSAA Board of Directors. This is a great way to give back, strengthen alumni connections, and help drive the future of our group. If you are interested in contributing your skills and knowledge to further the mission of the MSAA please fill out this application by Sunday, November 30, 2025.
