Future Leaders Visit State House
The February school vacation week has always been a terrific time for
students to have an opportunity to visit the State House – today, I had
the pleasure of hosting Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts in the Senate
Chamber.
These Boy Scouts, guests of Senate President Stan
Rosenberg, began their day by spending time with Governor Baker in his
office. I had the pleasure of then introducing them during a Senate
session, after we adjourned I gave them a tour of the Senate Chamber.
Senate Clerk William Welch, a former Scout, talked about his 1961 State
House visit with his troop to meet Governor Foster Furcolo.
It
was certainly a pleasure to have the Scouts and their adult leaders join
us – it gives me confidence in the future to know that these leaders of
tomorrow have strong community pride, civic spirit, and code of
responsible conduct.
