The family of long time Scouting member and advocate Velma Horvath sadly announce her passing last week. Her most beloved memories were of Wood Badge, helping numerous young scouts achieve their Ad Altari Dei ribbon, her son Ken's rise through the Scouting ranks to Eagle Scout, her daughters Annette and Michele's accomplishments in Explorer/Venturing Scouts, and her support for her husband Bill's accomplishments such as Acting District Commissioner. She was awarded the St. George Medal and Silver Beaver for her tireless support of Scouting and her Scouting legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren.
Donations in Velma's remembrance may be made to The Boy Scouts of America or The American Cancer Society.

Oue beloved sister, Velma, has gone on to her Lord Jesus Christ. We will miss her until we join her.
The work she accomplished through Scouting was wonderful. Her nephew, Michael and his wife, Laura, have followed in her direction. They have a Boy Scout Troop, a Girl Scout Troop, a Venture Scouting with both boys and girls. They work without ceasing to help these young people go forward. Last year Michael's troop had 3 Eagle Scouts - unheaard of in Florida. Velma was so pleased with their work. God Bless her and all who knew her.
