CHIEF SCOUTS HONOURED
Two Scouts have achieved the top award from the 1st

Bolton Scouts troop. Stuart Matson and Thomas

Hautot received The Chief Scouts Award from Harry

Niezen. Stuart and Thomas attended the Central

Escarpment Council award presentation where

Niezen, council commissioner presented both Scouts

with a certificate from Rideau Hall signed by The

Governor General, The Right Honourable Michaelle

Jean. The Chief Scouts award is the highest award

presented to a Scout. To achieve this award both

Scouts had to hold the Voyageur and Pathfinder

awards. Each Scout then set personal goals in four

areas. In addition to completing 50 hours of

community service, they organized a weekend camp,

gave a presentation on the world Scouting movement,

became qualified in First Aid and undertook

conservation projects at Albion Hills Conservation

Area and Sunkist Valley in Bolton.
