For over 100 years, Scouts have had a pronounced presence in Australia and have helped countless young people develop skills and an appreciation for the outdoors. Through their local scout groups, young scouts are given the opportunity to take part in an extraordinary variety of outdoor activities, from traditional skills such as bushcraft and camping to more extreme challenges such as abseiling, rafting, canoeing, canyoning, rock climbing, sailing, and flying. The leadership development, community service opportunities and environmental initiatives equip them with skills applicable to their careers and beyond. However, these activities would not be possible without the support of adult scout leaders, who sacrifice their time to provide training, support, and mentorship and take time out of their schedules to plan events and activities for their local groups. I recognise the long-term service and support to Scouts from adult supporters in the Liverpool and Hoxton Park districts, with Kim Budge, Richard Jones and Bryan Binskin, having been recently awarded the Silver Wattle, Meritorious Service Award and Special Service Award. I congratulate Liverpool's adult instructors on their service, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact the work of Scouts has on our community.
