Role of Honour 2023
Scouts is powered by your courage and kindness.
In this special coronation year, it’s more important than ever that we say thank you for all you do. Your example of service is an inspiration to me and to our young people. Without you, we couldn’t offer the opportunities for our Scouts to the gain the skills they need to succeed, week in, week out. We couldn’t help them try new things, forge new friendships and go to new places – like the 25th World Scout Jamboree in Korea where we’re heading this summer. We couldn’t help our young people shine and soar. You see the ones who make it all possible.
Whether you support Scouts quietly behind the scenes, deliver activities or help us get organised, it’s your actions that make all the difference. That’s why you so richly deserve the recognition in this 2023 Roll of Honour.
It’s equally important we salute the astonishing bravery and resilience of our Gallantry and Meritorious Award Holders. All of you have done something extraordinary, and inspired us with your bravery and resilience. You stepped up when it counted.
Thank you for all you do. You’re true inspirations to us all.
