Duke gets a visit from Cardiff Scout
Posted 21 May 2009
Cardiff & The Vale of Glamorgan Area Scout Network Administrator Gareth Johns represented CATVOG on Tuesday 19 May as he made his way to London to receive his Duke of Edinburgh's Gold award at St James' Palace.
The Gold award is the highest award in the scheme which required each individual to complete all five sections (Service, Skills, Physical Recreation, Expedition and Residential Project) is an incredible achievement.
Gareth completed the award as a member of the Area Scout Network.
The presentation ceremony saw the Duke of Edinburgh talking to the award recipients before the certificates were presented by BBC Radio Cymru presenter Eleri Siôn, a supporter of the DofE award in Wales.
Out of a total of around 250,000 young people that are taking part in the award, only 6,000 participants achieve the Gold award each year.
