Today is International Volunteer Day. I want to thank all of our volunteers for the work you do throughout the year to help provide the Scouting program to the youth of Blackhawk Area Council. Below is a message from Rick Cronk, current Chairman of the World Scout Committee and former BSA President, which can be found at the WOSM site.
On December 5th each year, we celebrate the "International Day of Volunteers" in Scouting.
The most powerful force in our efforts to deliver an exciting Scout programme to as many young people as we can possibly reach, are the skills, enthusiasm and care of our volunteers.
Volunteers are passionate Mums, Dads, neighbours, men and women, adults old and young who are deeply concerned for the safety, character and feelings of self worth in the lives of children.
To all volunteers in every corner of the world, we thank you.
Without you there would be no Scouting.
Peace be with you,
Rick Cronk
