1st Beverley (St Nicholas)

1st Beverley (St Nicholas) proudly presented four Chief Scout Awards at their AGM on Tuesday, 17 June 2025. Ella received her Bronze Chief Scout Award, Angus and Sam received their Silver Chief Scout Awards and Ben received his Gold Chief Scout Award. Achieving the Chief Scout Award is a significant milestone in the journey of any Scout. These awards cannot be awarded from just attending regular Section nights; they represent dedication, perseverance, and a broad range of skills developed through active participation in Scouts, both on their Section night and at weekend events, activities and camps. Each level of the award challenges young people to push their boundaries, take on new responsibilities, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. To earn a Chief Scout Award, a variety of tasks must be completed, including outdoor adventures, personal development projects, community service, and skill-building activities. These experiences are designed to help Scouts grow in confidence, leadership, and resilience.

A Moment of Pride
One of the most rewarding aspects of achieving a Chief Scout Award is the sense of accomplishment and recognition. More than just a badge, receiving these awards is a moment to be proud of — for the Scout, their leaders, and their families. It shows that a Squirrel, Beaver, Cub, Scout or Explorer, has not only committed their time and effort, but has also demonstrated qualities like teamwork, responsibility, and initiative. … Congratulations!

- Christine Bettinson, Group Lead Volunteer, 1st Beverley (St Nicholas)
