Katie from Year 5 was named a finalist in the Western Australian Scout of the Year Award which was held on 19 February. This award is designed to recognise a youth who has given exceptional service to Scouting and the community. It is presented each year to recognise & congratulate those youth members within Scouting who go above and beyond & make a difference in their community.
Katie was selected as an Award Finalist as she “has made significant contributions to the conservation of the Western Swamp Tortoise, one of Australia’s most endangered reptiles. Through her environmental project “Helping the Western Swamp Tortoise,” Katie has volunteered with the Friends of the Western Swamp Tortoise, planted trees, and educated her Cub Scout Unit about the importance of protecting the tortoise’s habitat. She has also registered a nearby bushland site as an “Adopt-A-Spot” and participated in clean-up days. Her dedication and passion for protecting endangered animals has not only positively impacted her community, but also contributed to her personal development as a self-directed and inquisitive individual.”
Congratulations Katie, you should be very proud of what you have achieved!
