Randy Ferrie, 2026 Madison Scouts Hall of Fame Inductee.
Randy Ferrie
While his time on the field as a performing member during the 1977 and 1978 seasons placed him in the heart of the corps' most competitive years, Randy Ferrie’s true legacy is defined by what he built for those who came after him. Randy recognized that the "Brotherhood" of the Madison Scouts should not end at age 21, and he dedicated his adult life to ensuring that the alumni experience remained as vibrant and impactful as the corps itself.
In 2006, Randy became the visionary Founder of the Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Project (MSARP). This landmark initiative brought together generations of "Men of Madison" to perform once again, proving that the Scouts' spirit is ageless. His leadership within the alumni community naturally transitioned into a role as a Founding Board Member of the Madison Scouts Alumni Association (MSAA), where he helped formalize the structure that keeps thousands of alumni connected to the modern corps, where he helped bridge the gap between the "Old Guard" and the modern era, ensuring the corps’ traditions are preserved.
Randy’s logistical brilliance and "can-do" spirit were the driving forces behind some of the most high-profile appearances in the corps' history. From the streets of New York City for the 2014 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to the vibrant celebrations of Mardi Gras in 2018 and 2020, Randy ensured the Scouts represented Madison with pride on the national stage. Most recently, he has become the "heart of the parking lot" as the Tailgate Master for 2024 and 2025, fostering the community and camaraderie that serves as the bedrock of the organization.
In recognition of his contributions, Randy Ferrie is an inductee of the Madison Scouts Hall of Fame.
