BRAVO to our unsung heroes!

18 June 2018

It’s National Volunteer Week and SCOUTS New Zealand wishes to sincerely thank our 5,000 amazing volunteers for their hard work and dedication to Scouting - delivering over 1 million volunteer hours per year.

To celebrate National Volunteer Week, we will be announcing over 120 BRAVO award recipients. The BRAVO award is a peer and parent/caregiver nominated award introduced recently to recognise the many unsung heroes in our Movement who have made significant contributions to Scouting in a variety of volunteer roles.

This year, we had several volunteers receive multiple BRAVO nominations - with one volunteer being nominated 10 times - showing that our people often go above and beyond the requirements of their role.

“SCOUTS New Zealand would not exist without our team of volunteers,” says NationalCommi ssioner Clarke Truscott. “We sincerely thank each and every one of them for their support and hard work, whether they are receiving a BRAVO award or not”.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of Scouting - whether they are our life members, governance, national, regional, zone, group or associate volunteers. They all play a part in helping to increase the positive impact we have on young people and the community.
