This years AGM saw our 25 of our young people awarded Bronze, Silver and Gold Chief Scout Awards by our District Commissioner, Kiron Griffin.
We also awarded 5 inspirational young people with the GSL Commendation Award.
The GSL Commendation Award is for those who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the Scout Law and or Promise. The figure of 8 knot, as it is a knot to be trusted, but was was chosen for the GSL Commendation Award for the following characteristics:
Strength - which can be interpreted as resilience, courage and bravery.
Security - which can be interpreted as a sense of belonging, social cohesion and sense of community.
Non-slip - which can be interpreted as steadfast and unwavering.
Finally we welcomed in to post our new Chairman, Fr Michael Fish, the newly appointed vicar of St. Stephens Church.
