Kay's Springbok Ceremony

So the time finally came, on 5th June 2010 Kay was awarded her Springbok badge. The whole troop got involved and we had a really big party.

The new tradition in the troop is that the first hour of the meeting is when the troop decorates the hall for the ceremony. Of course we did this in true Adiero style by hauling every decoration we have, that included a pirate flag from a few Kontiki's ago.

Kay arrived after an hour as well the parents and the Assistant Provincial Commissioner for Scout Programme, who was going to give Kay her Springbok. The troop fell in and Kay was escorted by the Court of Honour between the two patrols and presented to the APC with the words we often but slightly changed,

"This is Kay, Kay would like to get her Springbok."

And of course, no ceremony would be complete without a HUGE party with lots of food and fun to celebrate Kay's momentous achievement.

Well done Kay, we are all really proud of you for completing this and becoming the second the girl in the district to get her Springbok.

May there be many more from Adiero!!
