3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group

3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group have now had a 3rd successful nomination and award from the Jack Petchey Foundation.

In the Young Person (aged 11-25) category Tom B has been given this award for his commitment, service and achievements at 3rd Hampton Hill. Tom continues to support the Group in the role of Young Leader and will shortly be helping to run the newly established 2nd Scout Troop which will begin meeting this Tuesday. Congratulations and well done Tom!

As part of the award 3HH have received a cheque for £300 from the Foundation. Part of the nomination process involves a suggestion from the nominee on how this money will be spent by the Group. Tom has asked that this money be used to help purchase some smaller lighweight/hiking type tents which can be used for weekend camps and for any overnight hikes. Thanks Tom.

A number of participants from the Hampton Hill Duke of Edinburgh Award Group recieved their Awards tonight from The Mayor of Richmond.

It was really wonderful to see so many Young People recieving their awards.

Their were 9 Bronze Awards and 6 Silver Awards in total for the Hampton Hill DofE Award Group, with 8 of those being awarded in person this evening. Congratulations to all of them – well done!

The Mayor Cllr. Marc Cranfield-Adams said a few words and acknowledged the wonderful achievement of all those that had successfully completed their awards.

Moni Kenward (the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Officer for Richmond) went on to say that The Award is internationally recognised and is of significant benefit when applying for Jobs, College and University.

There were a number of display boards showing from a number of Award Groups in the Borough, including a great board for the Hampton Hill Group (many thanks to Katy W for all her hard work in putting this together).
