Boy Scouts of America, Transatlantic Council Scout Executive - Vince Cozzone, Receives French Legion of Honour Award

World Scouting is pleased to acknowledge Vince Cozzone, Scout Executive of the Transatlantic Council of Boy Scouts of America, for receiving the Legion of Honour Award from France.

A Presidential award, the Legion of Honour may be given to foreign (non-French) citizens in recognition of actions benefitting the country of France or, more broadly, achievements which uphold its ideals.

Vince is honoured by the French government for his sustained efforts to advance the cause of protecting the legacy of the Normandy beaches and battlefields.

The key purpose of these efforts is to promote peace and understanding among all nations, with the global family of Scouting as a leading example of shared values and respect.

Congratulations, Vince!
