Congratulation to Tomos Griffiths (aka Skip) on achieving his Bar to the Award of Merit at the celebration of scouting on 10.10.2026

Citation
Tom currently has over 18 years’ service in Scouting. He was awarded the Award of Merit on the 1st November 2020. He started in Scouting on the 9th March 2007 in 1st Roch, and has developed a wealth of knowledge over this time. Over the last 18 years Tom has developed his knowledge and skills, not only through the additional role he has undertaken in Scouting but also from his qualifications in IT and undertaking the role of a union steward. All of this he uses to benefit not just the young people in our group but also the other members of the Scouting team as he mentors and shares his skills with us all. Tom’s guiding hand and weekly input on the ground has meant that he has built up a good rapport and is well respected by the young people, parents and leaders, and this has resulted in the maintenance of a very high retention rate with in the Scout section. Tom’s passion for Scouting is clear for all to see and we thank him for his continued commitment to the movement and for choosing to be part of 1st Haverfordwest.
