Chief award for 16
A TOTAL of 16 Scouts from 1st Wotton-under-Edge scout group were presented with their Chief Scout's Award in a ceremony held at the group's Conygres Scout centre and campsite last week.
The award was presented by Geoff McFarland, Technical Director of Renishaw plc, which has strong ties to the local community.

As Geoff commented, "I have been really impressed by the level of enthusiasm and participation shown by the Wotton Scouts and must congratulate them on achieving this award."
For so many Scouts to all earn the Chief Scout's Award at once is a rare event. It is the highest achievement possible in Scouts, requiring them to earn badges in a wide range of activities and skills. In 2011 Wotton Scouts took part in a 10-day Jamborette in the Netherlands
