Commissioner's Corner - 'Sup Suffolk - Jul-19

Wassup Suffolk!

These are my final notes as County Commissioner and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for the amazing work that you all do, for young people across the County.

As I move on to new adventures, I am left humbled by the dedication that you all put in to developing young people and to the support you give one another as adult volunteers.

Suffolk has always had a ‘can do’ approach to scouting. So many of you, who are already so very busy, always find the time to go that extra mile and sit on that extra planning team. I truly appreciate all of the work that you do.
