ROLL OF HONOURST GEORGE’S DAY AWARD RECIPIENTS 2015

I n the words of Billy Ocean, ‘when the going gets tough, the tough get going,’ and for those of us in Scouting St George’s Day is a great occasion to

pause and say thank you to those of you who ‘get going’ in so many ways.

Whether they have been recognised for their exceptional service, dedication and commitment to shaping the lives of young people or by helping others to do that, they have all gone that extra mile. All have a role in changing the lives of young people, and our own too.

Others have made selfless personal sacrifices or overcome adversity and been recognised through a Gallantry or Meritorious Conduct award.

At some stage we all experience those tough moments – the odd programme that doesn’t go to plan or the individual who doesn’t do as they are asked. Those are the very best moments to remember the countless more successes, and to everybody who gets going I’d like to say a very sincere thank you!

And a special well done to everyone whose extra effort and inspirational actions are recognised this year.

Complete an award application, available from Scout Shops (scouts.org.uk/shop) or from scouts.org.uk/awards, using the example citations as a guide.

The application must be submitted to the County/ Area/Regional Commissioner to gain their recommendation and support.

It can then be submitted to UK Headquarters, where it is considered by the Awards Board – a group of volunteers from across the UK.

SILVER WOLFIn recognition of services to Scouting of the most exceptional nature.The Silver Wolf Award was introduced by Lord Baden-Powell and remains the Scout Association’s highest award for service to Scouting. The Silver Wolf is the 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, although this is not always the case.

County: Although in some parts of the British Isles Scout Counties are known as Areas or Islands – and in one case Bailiwick – for ease of reading this publication simply refers to County/Counties. In Scotland there is no direct equivalent to County or Area. In Scotland, Scouting is organised into Districts and Regions, each with distinct responsibilities. Some

‘Country’ functions are the responsibility of Scottish Regions, while others lie with Scottish Districts. The focus of responsibility is outlined in Scottish variations from POR.
