Tonight our Cubs made hand prints for our Celebration Wall. Cubs will be 110 years old this year and we have a year of Celebrations.
We started with hand prints because hands are so important to Scouting its how we learn and teach skills, such as knots, pioneering, fire pit skills the list is endless. We also use our hands for our promise and just as important it's all the handshakes that makes the friendships around the world which makes Scouting what it is

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.
