Mr. Speaker, this week is Scout-Guide Week which takes place February 15 to 22.
This is the time of celebration for Scouts Canada and Girl Guides of Canada. It is a chance for the public to recognize the limitless potential of Canadian youth and the work that scouting does to help build a better world for our nation's future leaders.
Scouting is an activity that instils fundamental principles such as leadership, pride and honour in more than 120,000 young boys and girls.
Moreover, these programs and activities are made possible through the commitment and dedication of some 40,000 volunteers working within the scouting movement.
I would encourage all members to join me in wishing both Scouts Canada and Girl Guides of Canada continued success as they move forward.
