Dear Scouting Families, Leaders, and Friends,
As we continue another exciting and impactful year of Scouting throughout Hunterdon County, I want to take a moment to recognize several outstanding individuals whose dedication and service continue to strengthen the Scouting movement within our community.
First, on behalf of the Hunterdon Arrowhead District and the entire Washington Crossing Council Scouting family, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Alice Hillary as she concludes her service as our District Executive. Alice has been a tremendous partner, advocate, and supporter over the last several months of Scouting in Hunterdon County. Her commitment to our youth, volunteers, and units has made a lasting difference, and we are deeply appreciative of all she has done to help grow and support Scouting across our District. We wish Alice continued success and happiness in her future endeavors.
Recently, we held our District Annual Meeting, which provided an opportunity to reflect on the tremendous accomplishments of our volunteers and leaders. During that meeting, we also recognized Art Dunn for his many years of dedicated service as our District Advancement Chair. Art’s commitment to helping Scouts achieve their goals and advance through the program has positively impacted countless young people and families throughout Hunterdon County. His leadership, guidance, and passion for Scouting have helped shape the lives of many future leaders, and we thank him sincerely for his remarkable service.
As we look ahead, I am pleased to welcome Ed Morris and Tracey Giannouris as our new District Co-Chairs for Advancement. Both Ed and Tracey bring tremendous experience, leadership, and dedication to Scouting, and we are excited to have them assisting our units, leaders, and Scouts in the years ahead. Their combined knowledge and passion for youth development will be an incredible asset to our District.
I also encourage everyone to attend our upcoming District Awards Program. This event is truly one of the highlights of the Scouting year — an evening dedicated to celebrating Scouting in Hunterdon County and recognizing the extraordinary leaders and volunteers who devote so much of their time, energy, and talents to positively impact the lives of our youth each and every day. I hope you will join us as we celebrate the spirit of Scouting and honor those who make our mission possible.
Finally, thank you to all of our volunteers, leaders, families, and supporters for your continued engagement in Scouting. Together, we are helping young people develop leadership skills, participate in meaningful community service, build character, and gain life experiences that will benefit them for years to come. The impact Scouting continues to make throughout Hunterdon County is extraordinary, and it only happens because of your dedication and support.
Yours in Scouting,
Christopher J. Phelan
