The highest award in cub scouting was awarded to proud scouts at ACS Cobham International.

The arrow of light marked their entry into the school’s boy scout troop - troop 184.

Students typically work for two years toward the award, which allows cub scouts to enter the boy scout troop at age 10-and-a-half instead of 11.

This year eight cub scouts received their awards in front of friends, family and fellow scouts.

An archer, dressed in traditional native American attire, fired an arrow to mark the scouts crossing a bridge to receive new epaulets and neckerchiefs.

Wayne Wilcox, troop 184 scoutmaster, said: “It is great to see the cubs achieve the awards they have worked so hard for.

“As an international school, students in the cub scouts have worked towards their arrow of light award for many years at schools they’ve attended around the world, so it was a privilege to see some of these students complete a long journey to enter the boy scouts.”
