Top Awards for Lion Troop

Report Date 10/02/07

4 Scouts from Lion Troop were presented with their Chief Scouts Gold Awards by Nigel Valette the District Commissioner for Havant Scouting. This award is only gained by about 5% of those joining Scouts.

Liam Holden, Zack Allgood, Alistair Harris and Sam Whiteland-Smith all aged 14 had to learn a number of new skills, complete Challenge Badges in Outdoors, Creative, Adventure, Community, undertake a community service and complete a personal project.

For their personal project the 4 Scouts organised a weekend camp for the troop arranging everything from food to the programme, from transport to communication.

On presenting the awards, Nigel praised the boys on their great achievement and Ian Hawke asked that they thank all those who helped them gain the award, and in particualt their parents and leaders for their efforts and support, without which, none of the awards would have been achieved.
