Award Ceremony
Every year there is an Award Ceremony which involves the whole district. They hand out certificates for people who earn their Bronze, Silver or Gold Award. This year we have a few scouts who will be given their Gold Award Certificate at the ceremony. We are all happy for them and we hope you are to. Cameron Yarr. March 2012
Foresters badge
As some of you may know, the district are holding a session for the foresters badge. We managed to get two scouts from each sections of the 85th. They will be doing a series of events to earn this badge and it will take them quite some time. we know they will represent the 85th well and will set a good example to all the other scouts who attend. We all hope they will do well and we hope you do to. Cameron Yarr. March 2012
