Celebrating World Scout Day

Post date: Aug 04, 2022 8:16:9 AM

The idea of "World Scout Day" on August 1 is that all active and former Scouts are encouraged to wear their Scout scarf in public to make the "Spirit of Scouting" visible: Once a Scout - Always a Scout!

The date of the event commemorates the very first Scout Camp on Brownsea Island in 1907.

August  1 was also the announcement of the 2022 Adult Recognition Awards for some of Scouts Victoria’s finest Leaders and supporters. The Group is thrilled to announce that 5 of our leaders have been recognised in these awards:

• • Clare Bilton Roos - Special Service Award

  • Helen O'Riley (Finlay) - Special Service Award

  • Andrew McGrail - Special Service Award

  • Esther Lang - Meritorious Service Award

  • Sue Taylor - Meritorious Service Award
