State Senate Honors Boy Scouts

The Senate today adopted a Senate Resolution introduced by Senator Bob Robbins (R-Crawford) marking the centennial anniversary of the Boys Scouts of America.

Senate Resolution 230 honors the Boys Scouts for its 100 years of service while creating a strong foundation of leadership, service, and community for millions of America's youth

'When we think about the basic principles promoted by the Boys Scouts, we can see that positive morals and self-responsibility have not disappeared," Senator Robbins said. "The young men in Scouting prove that they can avoid the negative influences of society, but also that they have the mettle within themselves to be positive role models for their peers.

"Scouting is about teamwork and self-reliance," Senator Robbins continued. "It is about bold confidence, backed by knowledge. And, of course, Scouting is about planning and preparedness. Those six qualities – teamwork, self-reliance, confidence, knowledge, planning and preparedness – have enabled men to reach the far ends of the planet, and beyond."
