Scouting ceremony honors Sir Edmund Herring in Melbourne
Last Sunday a large gathering of Victoria Scouts witnessed Sir Edmund Herring receive the Silver Wolf Medallion for his service as State President. Major-General Kingsley Norris praised early scouts and outlined their growth from ridicule to a national force while announcing an apology for past misgivings. A flag of events followed with remarks from many officials including Sir Dallas Brookes and Police Commissioner A Duncan. The ceremony included a welcoming gathering on the Melbourne Grammar School Memorial Hall lawns, with funds raised for the Jamboree trip and a motor cycle scramble meal contributing to the drive. A future working bee at Goulding’s Weir camp site is set to complete stringy bark planting with troop volunteers urged to attend.
