First District Rep. Edgar Chatto  urges the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) Bohol council to remain hopeful despite the challenges of the Coronavirus disease (Covid) pandemic, according to the information from the said solon’s office.

“Let us look forward with hope and unity for the continuous operations of the council having shown resilience with the challenges of the pandemic,” Chatto said to fellow members of the BSP Bohol council.

Last Friday, May 14, 2021, Chatto took his oath after having been re-elected as BSP Bohol Council chairman.

Chatto took his oath before Executive Judge Moises Lison along with other elected officers: Vice Gov. Rene Relampagos, 1st Vice Chairman; Atty. Joe Torralba as 2nd Vice Chairman; Rodney Lumuthang, Treasurer; Dr. Lorna Rances, Vice Treasurer; George Lim, Auditor and Lito Dajalos, Assistant Auditor including the members of the new Council Executive Board one of whom is the The Bohol Tribune columnist, Atty.

In his message, Chatto called for the constant support and cooperation of the council and stakeholders to come up with effective strategies for the continuous operation of the BSP organization here in the province.

During the last annual council meeting, BSP National President Roberto Pagdanganan congratulated the BSP Bohol council for its outstanding achievements in relation to the rollout of national flagship projects and initiatives despite the global health crisis.

Most of the scouting activities were done virtually, the same report from Chatto says.

Moreover, Chatto expressed gratitude for the trust and confidence the council has given to him and committed to serve the community through honing future leaders with BSP trademarks of excellence in leadership and character building as a contribution to nation building.
