Award for Merit (Badges)
We're sad to share the news that Sandra Southon has retired as Badge Secretary after 16 years in the role. But incredibly grateful for all of her hard work, especially after moving to Cambridgeshire where she single-handedly kept a branch of the Post Office in business, dispatching all of our orders to East London!
When Alan visited her last month to collect the remaining badge stocks, he took a token of our thanks (a bottle of champagne) but a final, fitting, thank you will also be dispatched by post in the New Year...
We're also proud to announce that Sandra has earned a final Scout badge: The Chief Scout's Award for Merit as she's gone far above and beyond the Award for Good Service that was presented to her in 2016.
