"I extend sincere appreciation to our community organizations that use the scouting program and their volunteer leaders who assist in community efforts," Turnbull said.
He said the volunteers are performing an outstanding service to the community and urged residents to join in honoring the people and organizations that support scouting in the Virgin Islands.
