Without all those who use their free time unpaid to work for sports, it would not be possible at all. The passionate people have a great importance, both for the sports clubs and for sports in general: It is the passionate people who put immeasurable energy into working for the sports clubs to function. Abroad, we hear that the number of volunteers is decreasing. It is necessary that this unpaid work is appreciated, and therefore ÍSF gives an honor scroll to a passionate person who has done their part to keep the community functioning; we must not forget the community in the pursuit of the peaks. The Poul E. Petersen Honor Scroll will be given to a passionate person who has served sports in a special way for a lifetime, writes ÍSF.
– Uttan øll tey, sum brúka sína frítíð ólønt at arbeiða fyri ítróttin, ber als ikki til. Eldsálirnar hava stóran týdning, bæði fyri ítróttarfeløgini, og fyri ítróttin yvirhøvur: Tað eru eldsálirnar, sum leggja ómetaliga orku í arbeiði fyri, at ítróttarfeløgini kunnu virka. Uttanlands frætta vit, at talið av sjálvbodnum er fækkandi. Neyðugt er, at hetta ólønta arbeiðið verður virðismett, og tí letur ÍSF heiðurskjal til eina eldsál, sum hevur gjørt sítt til, at felagsskapurin enn virkar; vit mugu ikki gloyma felagsskapin í strembanini eftir tindunum. Heiðursskjal Poul E. Petersen verður latið eini eldsál, sum í eitt mannaminni hevur tænt ítróttinum á serstakan hátt, skrivar ÍSF.
