I wish to congratulate the 1st West Waverley Scout Group on 60 amazing years. Since 1964 the 1st West Waverley Scout Group has played an important role in our community by supporting our local young people to develop important life skills. There are people aged six years and above contributing to scouts, and they are all enthusiastic participants. I had the great pleasure of attending the 60th anniversary celebration of the group, and it was such a joyful event, bringing together current and past members, some from right around the country who travelled for the occasion. Thank you so much for inviting me. It was such an honour to be included in the event. Some members have been involved with 1st West Waverley for decades. I want to acknowledge all of the volunteers over the years for everything they've done, and continue to do, not just for scouts but also for our wider community. Congratulations to the 1st West Waverley Scout Group on 60 incredible years!
