A fantastic way to end 2025, with the Lord Mayor presenting 4 Gold DofE awards, 3 King's Scout Awards and 1 bronze DofE Award. To gain the highest award in scouting takes a tremendous amount of commitment, dedication and resilience. You should be extremely proud of yourselves, as you join an elite group of top award holders. You now get the chance to enjoy your celebration next year at Windsor for the King's Scout Award and Buckingham Palace for your Gold DofE Award.
