On Saturday 7th March 2015, 49 scouts and were presented with the Chief Scout’s Gold Award by guest of honour Dame Penelope Keith.  The awards were hosted by Haslemere district and took place at Woolmer Hill School.  Also present was the Mayor of Haslemere Councillor Penny Bradley, County Commissioner Roxanna Rostock and  Acting District Commissioner, Frank Kitchener.

Congratulations to the Camelsdale scouts receiving the award:

Rachel Daniels
Tiffany Jones
James Lye
Connor Skuthe-Cooke
Jacob Smy
Livvy Stockdale


The evening started with a reception where scouts spent several minutes with scout leaders, chatting about the highlight of their scouting career.  As soon as the large table of refreshments was cleared by hungry scouts, the presentations began.  

In her welcome address, Roxanna Bostock commented how pleased she was that many of the scouts had chosen Scoutabout as their highlight.  The scouts were also praised for their smartness at the presentation!!  She also reminded the scouts to make sure that they mentioned this prestigious award on their CV’s for future employment.

After the awards had been presented by Dame Penelope Keith, a photo gallery of the activities of the scout groups throughout the County was shown, followed by a video presentation on Explorer Scouts, introduced by Chief Scout Bear Grylls who also congratulated the scouts on their achievement.  



With three girls and three boys on the list and that the evening coincided (almost) with International Women's Day (http://www.internationalwomensday.com/) we can be proud of our equal opportunities and achievements at 1st Camelsdale Scouts (Cubs and Beavers an' all). See what UK Scouts are saying about Women in Scouting.

If you do get a decent photo Frank would like one for our web site. I wasn't able to be there so the only official photos were by the Herald photographer, and the Herald won't come across with any unless we buy any that are published in the paper. You would think with all the stuff I give them they would give us one.
