The Mayoral Proclamation, noting that the Boy Scouts of America was officially founded in 1910 and celebrating its 116th anniversary, praised Boy Scouting as a “youth program of character development, value-based programs and leadership training.” The Proclamation further states, “The Boy Scouts have continued to set an excellent example for all through their volunteerism, commitment to others, and dedication to bettering themselves and their communities."  Mayor Mironov’s Proclamation expressed appreciation to, and commended the outstanding work of, the Boy Scout organization, their scout members, leaders and volunteers in our community.

Mayor Mironov expressed her enthusiastic support of the local Boy Scout organizations, noting, “We are proud to celebrate our local Boy Scout troops during Scouting Anniversary Week and highlight the valuable and fun opportunities scouting provides for young people in East Windsor. Boy scouting with the engagement and guidance of adult leaders offers young people a chance to learn new skills, build lasting friendships and develop strong foundational values. To all the young people who choose to join scouting, we commend you on making a choice that will enrich your life and create lasting memories. Thank you to all scouts and leaders for making our community’s scouting program such a vibrant part of East Windsor.”
