Acknowledge your favorite Scouter!
Scouting volunteers are the lifeblood of the Scouting program. Without the 655 registered volunteers in the Twin Valley Council we could not serve the over 1,800 youth in the Scouting program. Many of these volunteers give much more than the “hour a week” to ensure a quality Scouting program. Without these volunteers units would not exist, our camps would not function, and activities would be left unplanned.
2020 has been and exceptionally challenging year due to COVID-19, but the Scouting program has not stopped! Thanks to countless volunteers Scouting adjusted and overcame these challenges. Help us recognize some of these volunteers by nominating someone today for one of these awards.
