Fred Rook Award for James Perfett

Report Date 23/05/13

This award was presented by Fred Rook who was a Scout on Hayling and decided in 1987 that he would like to introduce an award for any member of the Group who shows their commitment to community service which has always been a key aspect of Scouting.

Fred who has recently become a Chelsea Pensioner was unable to join us this year, the first time in many years but sent his best wishes to the Group.

Helping others can come in many forms from involvement in local organisation or support group to what is basically a personal attitude to life. James is well known for his willingness to help others in many walks of his personal life and it is this willingness that makes hm such a worthy recipient of this award

This years award was presented by Councillor Leah Turner who commented on the positive help James gave to her and the organisers of the Hayling St George Event.

Well done James
