Recognising the brightest and best of Scouts WA

The Governor attended the annual Scouts WA Youth Awards ceremony in his capacity of Chief Scout, an honour held by the position of Governor for 110 years. The annual awards recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of Scouts throughout Western Australia for the contribution to the community and pursuit of their own goals and personal growth. The Governor had the honour of bestowing many awards, including the Scout Medallion, Queens Scout Award and the Baden Powell Award.

In his speech to the gathered crowd, he commented, “As a community, we express the best of our values through organisations such as Scouts WA when we create environments that motivate young people towards goal setting, community involvement, leadership development and personal growth. These values and skills are so important in equipping our younger folk in meeting the challenges – and making the most – of the opportunities that they will inevitably come their way.”
