Congratulations to John Neville for being inducted into the BSA national Hall of Leadership.
Youth safety is the No. 1 concern of the BSA.
To increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist today in Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America is implementing several important changes to further enhance its Youth Protection policies.
Effective June 1, 2010:
-- Youth Protection training is required for all registered volunteers.
-- New leaders are required to take Youth Protection training before they submit an application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins.
-- Youth Protection training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer's Youth Protection training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.
Nearly 300 Scouts and Scouters from all over the United States were named to the Boy Scouts of America's 100th Anniversary National Hall of Leadership for making a "significant difference in the life of another by the extraordinary service they have given … and the Scouting virtues they have modeled," according to a BSA release about the event.
Miwok District’s Sonoma-area Commissioner John Neville was named as Redwood Empire Council’s inductee. John’s involvement in scouting spans over 65 years! So he’s been involved in scouting for about 2/3rds of BSA’s history! After raising 15 children of his own, he could have easily retired. But his continued involvement in scouting has been an inspiration to everyone John interacts with. When asked if he has any words of wisdom for the rest of us scout leaders, he says, "It is all about helping young boys to become responsible adults. But, they already know that, which is why they are involved
