On Sunday, 30th November, a number of our young people were presented with awards by our District Lead Volunteer, Phil Deverill. These awards represent some of the highest achievements possible in Scouting, requiring dedication, perseverance, and a great deal of hard work. We are incredibly proud of all our young people — including those who have moved on to Explorers but still volunteer at 12th section evenings each week. Their continued commitment is a wonderful testament to the strength of our group.
