Royal Recognition for West Lancashire Scouts
Article by Andrew King - Ormskirk Scouts
Two Scouts, Gemma Roberts and Stuart McMichael, from West Lancashire have been invited to Windsor Castle later this month to receive their Queen Scout’s Award. This is the highest award in Scouting. Gemma and Stuart have completed a diverse range of activities to gain the recognition of the award.
To meet the criteria of the award Gemma had to learn a number of new skills. Gemma learned to drive, to talk Spanish and to play the piano. She also showed commitment to kayaking and netball. Gemma met the ‘service section’ through coaching Kayaking, volunteering as a Scout Leader and being Head Girl at Lathom High School in Skelmersdale.
Stuart met the criteria by also learning to drive and to talk Spanish. He also spent time volunteering as a football coach and as a Scout Leader.
