Scott holds regular camps and winter events at his property as well and ensures that
all the sections within the 3rd Scout Creek Group can enjoy events put on there, such
as the annual Halloween campfires. As a leader within the Scout section, his skills and
mechanical "know-how" offer great opportunities for the youth to learn practical
skills, both in the workshop as well as outdoors. Many projects, ranging from turkey
cookers to patrol boxes have been built at his shop. Scott has twice, with other
leaders, taken the youth to Scotland from where they returned with many great
stories of adventures with him as their leader. Scott assists with anything that needs
to be done. This soft-spoken guy is loved by everyone, puts extra effort into
everything he does, yet shies away from attention and never asks for anything in
return.
Most of all, Kim has been a strong, yet behind-the-scenes, player in re-building 5th
Scout Hill Group. At the end of 2003/2004, 5
th
Scout Hill was down to 14 Beavers
and 4 Venturers, without anything in between (No Cubs or Scouts). As things stood,
the group was on course to collapse. There was a small handful of 'rookie' volunteers
willing to keep the group going, but an experienced, thoughtful person was required to
guide and mentor them along the way towards rebuilding the group. Kim accepted
the role of Group Commissioner and also the roles of mentor, coach, and informal
trainer to what was then an inexperienced batch of Scouters (6+ years ago). As such,
Kim has had a very strong and significant role in rebuilding the group to its present
size of 4 thriving sections.
As a Cub Leader, Jim has provided an excellent program for the youth, with an
emphasis on the outdoor aspects of Scouting. He provides excellent leadership to the
leadership team for the Pack and ensures that members are receiving training and are
respected for their abilities and ideas.
