Awards and recognition


Awards and recognition are an important part of guiding life and enable us to show thanks for the hard work of our volunteers and to recognise when members have gone above and beyond.

Meet our awards chair


Tricia Hale is the chair of the region awards committee and knows how important it is for all volunteers to be appreciated.

All awards from a Silver Fish to thanks badges, good service badges and county awards make every recipient feel special and valued.
