Silver Award

I always enjoy an evening with the Herons and usually have a lot of fun with them.

Last week I was invited down again, but this time it was for a different occasion altogether. We weren't tramping across the meads, whizzing around London or even cooking. No, this time the GSL, and I, went down to present a Cub with his Silver Award.

This award is the highest a Cub Scout can get and means that they have participated fully in the life of the pack, not just on the usual evenings, but also in plenty of extra-curricular activities. They must also have worked hard by themselves and home and will have needed family support to do this.

This particular Silver Award is just one of many Chief Scout Awards that are gained at 3rd Ware each year with many Beavers being awarded Bronze, Cubs Silver and Scouts their Gold. We are proud of them all.

Silver Award

Well Done Cubs!

Last night I was invited to Fletcher's Lea to watch the presentation of the Chief Scout Silver Award to 10 of our Cubs. These Cub Scouts came from both our packs the Falcons and the Herons. Their Leaders and parents were also invited to join in the celebration and support them.

Graham Meldrum (DC) and Greg Stewart (DCC) made the presentations and Peter Makewell (ADC Scouts) gave a talk about the type of activities Scouts in Ware and District take part in. This gave the award winners, who have or are about to move up to Scouts, and their parents, an idea of the opportunities the young people will be able to take up.

The Cubs have to work very hard to gain this award and need to have taken a full part in the programme in the years they have spent as a Cub.

It is a great achievement and we are all very proud of them and the hard work they have put in. The Cubs themselves enjoyed gaining the award and learnt many new skills along the way. Hopefully some will go on to gain the Chief Scout Gold Award in the Scout Troop.
