FROM OUR
COUNCIL EXECUTIVE
January 12, 2007 |
Our Council relies on dedicated volunteers to promote its mission of preparing young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime
by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Today, nearly
500 adults provide leadership and mentoring to Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout
troops, Venturing crews, Exploring post and Learning for Life participants.
Scout volunteers serve in many capacities, from board members who lead in
strategic long-range planning for the council, to district volunteers who
provide leader training and mentoring, to unit leaders who organize meetings, encourage advancement, and provide outdoor learning experiences
for youth. Together, these volunteers within our council give well over
50,000 hours of service annually to ensure that the youth of this council
have access to and benefit from Scouting programs.
Through the work of these volunteers, the council remains the foremost youth
program of character development and values-based leadership training in
America.
To these volunteers we would like to say thank you for your dedication to
Scouting.
