Last week I had the pleasure of joining the Carey Bay/Toronto Scout Group where two of their joey scouts, Peter and Misha Wooden, were awarded a peak award, the pinnacle of the achievements pathway in each age section of scouts. Scouts encourage participation in the full range of activities and recognise individuals who go above and beyond. This award exists to challenge those scouts who wish to reach the mountain peak and be recognised for their achievements. The milestone requires the completion of activities in elements such as outdoor adventure, skills, special interest areas and adventurous journeys. Peter and Misha are the first joey scouts in their group to ever receive this award. Peter and Misha were also very grateful to receive a special shout-out from the PM himself.

I was also very honoured to receive my very own Carey Bay/Toronto Scout Group scarf on the night. I left feeling extraordinarily confident in the future generations and in this group's coming events. Congratulations to Peter and Misha on your hard work and determination in reaching this milestone in your scouting journeys. Well done to all the hardworking volunteers in Carey Bay/Toronto Scout Group. Without the mums and dads and the volunteers, these organisations just don't go. Thank you very much to everyone that's involved in that and thank you to the parents all around Australia.
