The power of three

James' parade with others receiving the Queen's Scout Award was emotional, touching and made we, his parents, so incredibly proud of his dedication and commitment. We were joined in the celebration by Grandparents and also James' Godfather Nick. This is the photo James chose to commemorate the day- that of himself, his Dad Neil and Godfather Nick after the event- 3 Queen's Scouts together!!!

What an achievement.... You must indeed be very proud. I think as parents our children's achievements and awards are far better than anything we do ourselves...... This photo will go on the mantle piece I hope......

Congratulations to James. Your whole family must be so proud. It is a major accomplishment. What do the different scarfs indicate?

@jackie8 Sure will, Jackie! It's a bit of a snap really at the very end of the day but it was James' choice so who am I to over-rule him?!

@jimmyveee Hi James- the scarves show the district or unit they are attached to, as explorer scouts in James' case or as leaders in the other 2!

@fotofella Thanks Neale! Not a great shot, I know, but gives us memories of the day.
