Stevenson spoke during a Parliamentary debate in which he hailed the achievements of the Cub Scouts and wished them a successful next hundred years. The Cub Scots will be celebrating their hundredth anniversary on the 16th of December 2016.
Commenting, Stewart Stevenson MSP said,
“The Cub Scouts are a great part of a young person’s development. I myself owe much of my own development to it. It helped me grow in confidence, make friends and even develop some adventurous cooking skills.
“The Cub Scouts instil young people with a great sense of duty to help others. One of my own constituents, a Cub Scout leader Corey Tocher, exemplifies this spirit. Just a few months ago, this young man travelled to London to donate stem cells to the Anthony Nolan Trust – an action he undertook in order to save a life. These are the kind of values he is sharing with his Cub pack.
“Cub Scouts is a wonderful organisation and has done great things over the past hundred years – teaching young people the value of helping others and to always do their best. I wish all the Cub Scouts a very happy 100th birthday for the 16th of December and hope the next hundred years is just as great.”
