Family, friends and scouts of all ages recently surprised Dave Reid of the 11th Broughton St Mary’s Scouts with a presentation and reception, writes Scott Richards.
The occasion was to recognise the Group Scout Leader’s 40 years in Scouting.
In presenting his award, Regional Commissioner Isabel McNab made special mention of Dave’s dedication to Scouting in Broughton.
'He is that rare phenomenon: a one-club-player, having served with the 11th since he was a cub, scout, and then as an adult leader.'
At a reception at The Cumberland Bar later, Dave said, ‘I'll have a Deuchars IPA’.
