It's the New Year where in the UK New Year honours are handed out for acts of community service of which a fair number have been given to those in Scouting and GirlGuiding for providing service as leaders, district comissioners and so on.
These people play a massive part in making all that happens in the world of scouts and guides happen, organizing activities, supervision awards, fund raising and being the back office handling the everyday stuff with no charge for their labour.
It isn't just that scouts without them would be impossible, it's the impact over time in our communities that contribution makes to raising the next generation to play a full role themselves that sometimes the statutory services like education don't quite manage despite their very best efforts.
That's why beyond those individual honours we should give thanks for what all in every part of scouting are doing.
Here's to scouting in 2024!
