St. Georges's Day Parade

St. George's Day Awards

The following awards have been given in the District, as announced in the latest 'Scouting' magazine. Congratulations to you all!

Silver Wolf:

Austin Hall and Don Charlton

Brian Chater - County Secretary

The Silver Wolf Award was introduced by Lord Baden-Powell and remains the Scout Association's highest award for service to Scouting. It is an unrestricted gift of the Chief Scout and is only awarded for "service of an exceptional nature". It is not normally awarded until at least a Silver Acorn has been gained, in practice this means that it is seldom awarded for less than 30 years service.

Silver Acorn:

Jim Nicolson (7th) and John Swan (DESC / 7th)

The Silver Acorn was first introduced as a St. Georges day award in 1933. It is not normally awarded until at least a Medal of Merit has been gained and a further 5 years service has been completed. It is therefore seldom awarded for less than 20 years service.
