ADDERBURY SCOUT RECEIVES TOP AWARD

A Scout at 1st Adderbury has achieved the top award possible for his age group.

 The Chief Scout's Gold Award is the culmination of a young person's four years as a Scout and shows true commitment and determination through a series of difficult challenges and tests.  

At the Troop's meeting on March 15th, 2016 the North Oxfordshire Deputy District Commissioner, Ian Broome, presented Ben Haynes with his award infront of the Troop's other members and Ben's family. Ben, who is a pupil at Warriner School, will now attend a prestigious county presentation in Oxford in May.

Deputy District Commissioner Ian Broome said, "It takes a lot of hard work and effort through a series of diverse challenges to achieve the Chief Scouts Gold Award. Alongside his school work, sports and other activities Ben has displayed great commitment and self-motivation in Scouting to achieve this top award".

 Scout Leader Andy Green said, "Completing the Chief Scouts Gold Award is a major achievement and will help Ben stand out from the crowd when applying for a job or university place.  At 1st Adderbury we are all very proud of him"

 To pass the award Ben completed a series of badges and took on various leadership roles, completed community work at Adderbury Lakes and an expedition, learned various life skills, attended numerous camps and attempted adventurous activities including caving, gorge walking, kayaking and motor sports.
