AT THE end of the autumn term, 1st Holsworthy Scout Group were proud to award members with their Chief Scouts Bronze, Silver and Gold awards. 

Receiving their Bronze awards are Charlie Atkins, Coby Allcorn and William Hale, Silver awards were presented to Aaron Squirrell, Taylor Allcorn and Ben Horn, and Gold awards went to Callum Yeo and Alisha Squirrell.

Each of the awards are the highest awards given for each section of scouting and are achieved by completing a series of challenge and activity badges during their time in scouting.

Also receiving their ‘Wood Badge’ from acting district commissioner Bernard Moore were Kim Duckworth and Charlotte Chidley.  

The Wood Badge is presented when a leader has completed all 19 training modules to enable them to be a section leader.
