Today we say goodbye to our Honorary Scouter, Kevin.

He started Scouting in 1941 as a Cub with the 10th Edgware Scout Troop and moved to 17th Harrow in 1943 as a Rover Scout and in 1946 became a Senior Rover Scout. Kevin became a warranted leader in August 1950.

Kevin attended our weekly Scout meetings for many years until ill-health stopped him from coming.

During is time in Scouting, Kevin received the Medal of Merit in November 1998 and the Silver Acorn in April 2004.

Always willing to share his knowledge with the next generation… “a true legend”.

Kevin, will be greatly missed by 17th.
