 Supervisor Janet Nguyen honored as
Citizen of Character by Scouting America
Each year, Scouting America’s Orange County Council selects several noteworthy individuals to receive a Citizens of Character award.
I was honored and humbled to receive this award recently at the historical Nixon Library, which is one of California’s most beautiful landmarks. Four other great citizens were also honored at a beautiful dinner. This was so exciting to me because while I give out hundreds of awards every year, I never expect to receive one for my work.
Scouting America says it selects its honorees based on devotion to family, faith and community who also have the traits of Scout Law: loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
For over 100 years the Boy Scouts – and now Scouting America – have built character and leadership in its young members, which helped build America into the greatest country in the world.
My husband, Tom, is an eagle scout and he counts that as one of most rewarding achievements as a young man. We have used scouting attributes to raise our two boys. We are often in the community as a family at the hundreds of events I attend every year.
Being an elected official is more than just passing a budget and enacting laws. It’s attending the openings of new businesses and playgrounds, supporting cultural events, making sure our first responders have the resources they need, supporting local non-profits, helping constituents, and safeguarding taxpayer dollars by exposing fraud.
I am out in the community every day, looking for ways to help. Please contact my office at 714-834-3110 if I can be of any assistance.
