Scout Leader Andy Green said, “Tom
and Ashley have worked really hard for this award. To gain it
they have taken part in various outdoor activities, learned life
skills, and also given up some of their spare time to perform
valuable tasks in the community.”
“The Chief Scout’s Gold Award is
highly respected and something which will aid them as they seek
college or university places, and apply for jobs in the future.
By showing true determination and commitment to achieve this award
they have gained a head start over their peers, demonstrating they
have the key skills any employer would look for in an employee.”
District
Commissioner Brian Sargent added, “I’m really pleased to present
these awards. They represent lots of hard work over a period of
several years and both Scouts are to be congratulated on their
achievement. ”. |

completed a series of badges and took on various leadership roles,
completed community work at Adderbury Lakes and Adderbury Library,
learned various life skills, and attempted various adventurous
activities including mountain expeditions, gorge walking, caving,
gliding and motor sports.
