I will never forget…

The memories of D of E expeditions – weird blisters, finding a place to go to the loo and the friends I made

Helping out with Sunday school – I am still helping now!

Organising a Christmas Princess party – It turned out really well!

Try, try and try again

To take new take risks and accept new challenge

Time keeping and the ability to keep smiling

To use my initiative

Perseverance

 

People just starting an Award should:

Be ready and willing to accept new challenges and meet new people

Be aware how much work it will be and make sure you are prepared for the time commitment

Try to be brave in starting something new and enjoy yourself. It can feel like a lot of work at times but it is worth it.

Have fun and smile it might be hard but think what you are achieving
