Cub Scout Leader honoured with Wood Badge

One of 1stPark Street's long-standing Beaver Scout and now presently Cub Leader of Birchwood pack has been presented with the Wood Badge, recognising her commitment to to the group and Scouting.

Leida Smith, who Beaver Scouts will know as Wolverine and is currently known by her Cubs as Bagheera, was presented with the award by District Commissioner Anne Barnes at the Pack's meeting on Monday 16th December.

The Wood Badge is presented to Leaders in recognition of their achievement in leadership and services to young people. Like all the groups leaders that have received this same award over the course of this year, Leida has had to complete a series of training modules, commit to ongoing learning, and be recommended by their Training Advisor.

With Leida's great achievement in receiving this award, the group has now had a total of 4 of it's Leadership team across the sections gain their Wood badge thid year which we have been informed is the most within any group of the St Albans District.

This of course shows everyone within the groups the selfless dedication of it's leaders to give the very best Scouting experience that the children can get.
