DOMINIC Dobson, the District Commissioner of Wharfedale Scouts last week presented Alan Pratt, his deputy, with a very well deserved Good Service Award.

Presenting the Award for Merit Dominic said: “Alan has worked tirelessly for Wharfedale District Scouts and his own group at Otley Methodists over a number of years. Alan’s enthusiasm and capacity to take on any role to help others is amazing and an example to all.

“Alan has worked non- stop running first aid courses, training and in membership administration and is now taking on the District Treasurer role.”

The former District Commissioner helped to update all service and award records which means all leaders and adult helpers are fully thanked and acknowledged.
