Roll of Honour 2026

We recognise the amazing work our volunteers do and their commitment to the Scouts through our Good Service awards.

We also recognise youth/adult members for other special achievements through our Meritorious Conduct/Gallantry awards as well as the Cornwell Scout Badge and Chief Scouts Personal Award and St George’s Day provides us with a time each year, to specifically celebrate all of these individuals and publish their names in a Roll of honour.

This year’s Roll of Honour for Gloucestershire Scouts recognises the work of our amazing volunteers:

Congratulations to you all!

The Silver Wolf

This award is the unrestricted gift of the Chief Scout. It’s only awarded for service of a most exceptional nature.

It’s not normally awarded until at least a Silver Acorn has been previously gained and a further prolonged period of exceptional service has been achieved. In practice, it’s rarely awarded for less than 30 years’ service although, because it is the Chief Scout’s unrestricted gift, no length of service is prescribed. 

This year’s Awardees: 

  • Pam Tovey
  • Paul Trott 
  • Richard (Ricky) Campbell
  • Ronald Shell
Bar to the Silver Acorn

Awarded after at least five years of similarly distinguished service after receiving the Silver Acorn.

This year’s Awardee: 

  • Heather Taylor
The Silver Acorn

Awarded after at least 20 years’ service, which should be specially distinguished and appreciably better than outstanding.

This year’s Awardees: 

  • Christopher Lodwig
  • Derek Platt
  • Gareth Ovens
  • Ian Orr
  • Linda Faulkner
  • Louise Little

Bar to the Award for Merit
