ROLL OF
HONOUR
ST GEORGE’S DAY AWARD RECIPIENTS 2015
CONGRATULATIONS
I
n the words of Billy Ocean, ‘when the going gets
tough, the tough get going,’ and for those of us
in Scouting St George’s Day is a great occasion to
pause and say thank you to those of you who ‘get going’
in so many ways.
Whether they have been recognised for their
exceptional service, dedication and commitment to
shaping the lives of young people or by helping others to
do that, they have all gone that extra mile. All have a role
in changing the lives of young people, and our own too.
Others have made selfless personal sacrifices or overcome adversity and been
recognised through a Gallantry or Meritorious Conduct award.
At some stage we all experience those tough moments – the odd programme that
doesn’t go to plan or the individual who doesn’t do as they are asked. Those are the very
best moments to remember the countless more successes, and to everybody who gets
going I’d like to say a very sincere thank you!
And a special well done to everyone whose extra effort and inspirational actions are
recognised this year.

ST GEORGE’S DAY
AWARDS 2015
SILVER WOLF
In recognition of services
to Scouting of the most
exceptional nature.
The Silver Wolf Award was introduced
by Lord Baden-Powell and remains the
Scout Association’s highest award for
service to Scouting. The Silver Wolf is
the unrestricted gift of the Chief Scout
and is only awarded ‘for service of an
exceptional nature’. It is not normally
awarded until at least a Silver Acorn
has been gained. In practice, this
means that it is seldom awarded for
less than 30 years’ service, although
this is not always the case.

County: Although in some parts of the British Isles Scout Counties are known as Areas
or Islands – and in one case Bailiwick – for ease of reading this publication simply refers to
County/Counties. In Scotland there is no direct equivalent to County or Area. In Scotland,
Scouting is organised into Districts and Regions, each with distinct responsibilities. Some
‘Country’ functions are the responsibility of Scottish Regions, while others lie with Scottish
Districts. The focus of responsibility is outlined in Scottish variations from POR.
