Hi All, here are some pics of Nathaniel receiving his Gold
Duke of Ed at Government House today, presented by the governor general Anand Satyanand and his wife Susan. There were many young people gaining their DOE and Queen Scout awards and Queen Guide awards, a beautiful ceremony and a lovely morning tea taken in the immaculate, expansive grounds of the house.
Naturally Louise and I are very proud of Nathaniel’s achievement, there is required a great deal of commitment and perseverance to acquire what is recognized internationally as the top award for youth.
In the new term I will be stepping up to take on the roll of venture leader at New Lynn Scouts in response to the retirement of long serving leader Gemma Wood. My previous experience being pretty much focused on the younger scouts, I am looking forward to the challenge of working with the older age group and helping them through their Queen Scout award.
