Recently, two members of our District attended Durham Scouts’ King’s Scout Award Presentation Evening, celebrating their achievement of the highest award in Scouting. The evening brought together young people from across the county to recognise their dedication, resilience and the positive difference they’ve made in their communities. We are incredibly proud of both recipients and their fantastic achievement.
Bethany Frazer
Bethany has shown exceptional dedication to Scouting, giving back throughout her entire journey. From leading at the World Scout Jamboree to supporting local environmental projects and running international activities for Beavers, her impact on younger members has been significant and lasting.
Jennifer Thompson
Jenny’s achievements are truly remarkable—earning not only her King’s Scout Award and Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, but also the Scouts of the World Award and Explorer Belt. She has contributed at a national level, supported programme development, and now leads as County Youth Team Lead, demonstrating outstanding leadership and commitment.
