Kepnock King’s Scout Award

Amelia Taylor now joins a select group of people who have earned one of the highest accolades in Scouting – The King’s Scout.

Although named as a peak award in the Venturer section of Scouting, the honour is unique inthat it is conferred upon an individual via Royal Warrant not awarded. To be a King’s Scout is to be recognised across a broad spectrum of areas designed to not only challenge the Scout as an individual, but also to grow them as a leader and a role model within the community.

Amelia’s Venturer Leader, Shanae Findlay, a Queen’s Scout, knows what it takes. “To achieve this award, Amelia had to participate in 60 activities, assist other venturers, scouts or leaders in running 9 activities and she herself had to plan 7 activities for her peers to be involved in” Ms Findlay explains. “More than that, by working towards this goal each individual is developed across the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual potentials that shapes our Scout movement.”
