A review
of the Western Los Angeles County Council's nominees for the National Hall of
Leadership shows many outstanding nominees. If the nominations were closed today
we could be proud of the person selected by National as our Council's
representative to the National Hall of Leadership.
However there are MANY more individuals that deserve to be nominated.
************
Leaders are those who see possibilities and inspire others to see them too. Over
the past century, Scouting leaders have inspired millions of Americans to dream
more, do more, and become more. They have shaped our nation's youth by modeling
Scouting virtues. And now we have a way to thank them.
The BSA 100th Anniversary National Hall of Leadership provides a one-time
opportunity for you to honor and recognize a Scouting leader who positively
impacted your life, or the lives of others. To be nominated, a person must be a
living Scout or Scouting volunteer who may or may not be officially registered
with the BSA. They must have served as an active Scout or Scouting volunteer for
at least one year. A nominee may be young or old - there is no age limit - and
you can submit as many nominations as you'd like.
The nomination period is open for from February 8, 2009 to April 2,
2010. One inductee will be selected from each local BSA council in the country
along with one from the national office. Inductees will be announced at the BSA
National Annual Meeting in Dallas in May 2010.
Our country will never outgrow the need for thoughtful leadership. And, so it
will never outgrow the need for those dedicated individuals who live their lives
by the Scout Law and teach others to do the same. Please, take some time to tell
the story of a leader who inspired you.
