On My Honour

See the original publication.

scout2.jpgScouting has always been close to my heart. Now, as a family we are part of the movement. We are proud members of the First North Mount Druitt Scout Group. There are about 20 cub scouts in our group, led by our “Akela” – Lara Bravo. My scout name is “Iago” (pronounced as YA-GO) – the story teller. Every cub scout leader has a Jungle Book name which makes it easy for the cub scout to remember your name. To Celine and Jess – I’m dad, but with my uniform on, I become “Iago” their cub scout leader. We play and learn together.

Presenting it to her is Harry Anderson (a.k.a. Buffallo), the group leader of the First North Mount Druitt Scout Group. Celine will wear the cord as part of her uniform as she move up to be a scout.
