All our thoughts are with Peter's family, and friends from Scouting and beyond
Peter was dedicated to Scouting, having been a Leader initially at the 12th Midlothian (St John's) Scout Group, Midlothian District and finally at the 14th Midlothian (Bonnyrigg) Scout Group.
Peter was also dedicated to International Scouting, with his volunteering for the Blair Atholl International Jamborette, World Scout Jamboree in 2007 and Eurojam in 2005. Peter had also taken Scouts to Gibraltar twice, Haarlem International Jamborette in the Netherlands, and most recently taking Bonnyrigg Scouts to Jersey last year.
Peter was presented with an Award for Merit in 2023 for all his work.
