Daniel Wells, Jack Golden, Joshua Day and Scott Hickman were presented with their Chief Scout's Gold Awards, the top award of the Scout section by Ian Stott, District Commissioner for Scouting in Havant.

To gain this award, Scouts have to complete a range of challenges including Camping, Expeditions, Fitness, Creative along with Community Service projects and traditional Scouting Skills. In addition the Scouts are required to demonstrate Leadership skills and take an active part in the running of a Scout Troop. When asked of their most memorable achievement, Dan's was his opportunity to fly a plane, Jack had a great sense of achievement from completing the Expedition challenge, whilst for Joshua it was the responsibility of leading a patrol in camp and Scott it was being part of an overnight Patrol Leader challenge along the lines of "Get me out of here".

On presenting the awards, Ian Stott congratulated the Scouts and thanked the Leaders and Parents for their continued support.
