Special Feature
In the West Area, our Master Guides have been intentional about growth and development. We’ve hosted trainings in person and via zoom, workshops, and Master Guide Honor Days to strengthen leadership and provide continued support for those serving in ministry. These gatherings have created opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and spiritual growth among our leaders. We’ve also been promoting the Master Guide program through church visits and word of mouth, and we are seeing steady growth in participation and commitment. It has been encouraging to witness the dedication of our Master Guides as they continue mentoring youth, supporting their clubs, and serving faithfully in their churches. What we all have in common is our desire to serve God faithfully and guide the next generation with purpose and integrity.
Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established. Proverbs 16:3
Blessings,
Victoria “Vicky” Arnoux-Dixon
