Kurt Warner delivers keynote speech for Boy Scouts
NFL Super Bowl MVP and former Northern Iowa Panthers’ quarterback Kurt Warner delivered the keynote speech this week at the Boy Scouts of America Mid-Iowa Council’s Governor’s Luncheon in Des Moines.
The event was a homecoming of sorts – it was held in what used to be known as Veterans Memorial Auditorium, where Warner played for the Iowa Barnstormers before making his way to the NFL.
The Governor’s Luncheon is a fundraising event, with all proceeds supporting Scouting programs in the 27 counties served by Mid-Iowa Council. Watch WHO13’s coverage of the event below:
Kurt Warner graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 1993 and was named the Gateway Conference's Offensive Player of the Year. Enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017, Warner was named the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIV as he led the St. Louis Rams to their first Super Bowl title in his initial season as their starting quarterback in 1999.
He would go on to lead the Rams to another Super Bowl appearance in 2001 and guided the Arizona Cardinals to their first-ever trip to the NFL’s Championship Game following the 2008 season. Warner was a two-time NFL MVP and was selected to four Pro Bowls.
