Awards

Our District has some amazing volunteers, who give up their spare time to plan and deliver skills for life in everyday adventures, on a daily basis our leaders go above and beyond for their Group or Unit. These individuals will be nominated for Good Service Awards, Commendations, and National Honours. There are also length of service awards for each and everyone to achieve for the length of time you have been involved in Scouts.

These awards are the way the Scout Association says “Thank You” for all of the your work.

We are extremely proud of all our volunteers who have received awards.

Youth Awards

Across the District we have young people taking part in expeditions, undertaking challenging volunteering tasks, learning new skills and tackling that all important physical activity in the pursuit of achieving a Top Award. Scouts offers the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and the Top Award Scheme. Whilst every award earnt under these schemes is worth shouting about, we want to give a special shout out to our Queen Scout Award holders across the District. These Awards stay with you as one of the most important achievements well past your time in Scouting and here are some of the amazing people who have achieved them!
