Scouting America extends its sincere gratitude to Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia for his steadfast dedication to supporting Scouting and Scouts throughout his career. As co-chair of the Scouting Caucus with Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Senator Manchin has significantly advanced the mission of Scouting, helping shape a brighter future for young people across the nation.
While words do not fully capture the depth of our appreciation, we want to take a moment to express our thanks on behalf of all Scouts. Your leadership and commitment have made a lasting impact on the Scouting movement, and we wish you all the best as you turn the page to your next chapter.
As Senator Manchin shared:
“The heart of being a Scout is a commitment to making our nation a better place to work, live, and raise a family. I’m forever grateful to this organization.”
