40 Years and still Leading

Report Date 31/10/07

A special presentation took place at the end of Eagle Scout Troop's weekly meeting.

Nigel Vallette, the District Commissioner for Havant presented Peter Goddard with a certificate and badge in recognition of 40 years active service as a Leader. Pete's achievement is even more unusual in that he has spent the whole time with the 3rd Hayling Eagle Troop. Having joined the group at the age of 8, his total time in the movement is now approaching 50 years.

On presenting the badge, Nigel thanked Pete for all he has done to help so many young people of Hayling and of course for all he will continue to do.
