On October 22, 2011 (Saturday), venturer scouts Jason Che-ung, Douglas Fung, Eugene Lei and Jeffrey Li received the Queen’s Venturer Award while rover scout Evelyn Lam received the Duke of Edinburgh Award (Silver). The award presentation ceremony was held at Queen’s Park, Toronto, the former in the morning and the latter in the afternoon and was officiated by the Lieutenant Gover-nor of Ontario, Mr. David Onley.

The Queen's Venturer Award is presented to Venturers who have acquired competence and skills that will be of considerable use to themselves, their venturer company and their community. These Venturers will have also been recognized by their venturer company, the advisor, and Scouts Canada as being worthy of receiv-ing this award. The Award signifies that a Venturer has, in the opin-ion of those who know the Venturer, both the character and ability to be of significant help to other people.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award Programme is about challenge. It is also about providing the opportunity to accept a challenge. The Award offers young people the opportunity to set a personal goal and achieve it. Along the way, they learn about qualities like responsibility, trust, and the ability to plan and organize themselves. There is no competition between participants. The only people with whom they compete are themselves. Self-motivation is fundamen-tal to the Programme. The criterion for gaining an Award is based on individual improvement based on each participant’s starting point and potential. There are three levels of “AWARDS” – Bronze, Silver and Gold. Participants have to fulfill the different requirements of the four sections of the Programme – Service, Expeditions, Skills, and Fitness.

In addition, the awards are of special importance when, in the future, writing up resume to apply for admission into universities or for job. If interested in scouting, please contact our Group Commis-sioner, Cindy Kwok, by calling 416-910-3753.
