East Windsor Township Mayor Janice S. Mironov issued a Mayoral Proclamation recognizing Boy Scouting Anniversary Week, February 7 to 13, 2016. Mayor Mironov presented the Proclamation accompanied by private checks of support to each of the local boy scout troops: Boy Scout Troop 6284 represented by Committee Chairperson Steve Greaves, Boy Scout Troop 5700 represented by Scoutmaster Greg Charache, and Cub Scout Pack 53 represented by Cub Scoutmaster Pete Kecskes.

The Mayoral Proclamation, noting that the Boy Scouts of America was officially founded in 1910 and celebrating its 106th anniversary, praised boy scouting as a “youth program of character development, value-based programs and leadership training” and further stated “the Boy Scouts have continued to set an excellent example for all through their volunteerism, commitment to others, and dedication to bettering themselves and their communities." The Proclamation "expressed appreciation and commended the outstanding work of the Boy Scout organization, their scout members, leaders and volunteers in our community."

Mayor Mironov expressed her “enthusiastic support of the local boy scout organizations,” noting “the local boy scout organizations are among the very positive forces here in our community, teaching young people important basic values including respect for others, leadership skills, the importance of service to community and other people, all while offering a great opportunity to make friends and have a fun experience. We are especially blessed here in our community to have dedicated, positive and caring adults who have stepped up into leadership and support roles on behalf of young people in East Windsor and Hightstown.”
