Roberto Madan, the community activist and McDonald’s Owner/Operator who has been widely recognized for his involvement with various McDonald’s Latino initiatives throughout the years, was acknowledged by The Patriots’ Path Council of The Boy Scouts of America who presented him with their “Scouting …¡Vale la pena! 2008 Service Award.”

“My focus is the community and the Scouts play an important role in helping mentor our kids,” said Madan who admitted “I was never a boy scout myself.” He defined his commitment “as something very close to my heart and very much in context with McDonald’s tradition of giving back to the community in which we do business, following the philosophy of our founder, Ray Kroc.”
