I was inspired to join the Scouts because of all of the adventures I had in the Guides that I enjoyed. I thought I could have twice the adventures if I were a Scout too. I&#8217;m so grateful for the adventures; both of them have given me the opportunity to explore,&#8221; she recalled.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the highlights and challenges she endured throughout her Springbok Scout journey was the two-night, three-day expedition through the Cape Point Nature Reserve, leading four Scouts through the bush. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Finding shelter, cooking under the wide-open sky, navigating your way through over 30\u2009km &#8211; these are all secondary challenges to being solely responsible for four younger people for those three days. Another challenge was building a 13\u2009m long bridge over a slipway at Zandvlei using nothing but poles and rope,&#8221; Johnston said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She finds great pride in the community service element associated with the Scouts and Guides as one of their most rewarding features.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I enjoyed the service project I led at the local Safe House for women and children immensely. During this time I got to renovate their garden space.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnston was overjoyed upon hearing that she was selected as one of the scouts who earned their Springbok badge and Protea Ranger award.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Both my Springbok Scout and Protea Ranger award took a lot of planning, resilience, and perseverance every step of the way. Even with these challenges, however, the awards wouldn&#8217;t have been achievable without the support I had from my family, my friends, and my older mentors. It felt incredible when I found out officially that I&#8217;d be earning the awards! I was so happy to have a physical representation of all of the challenges I had tried and overcome throughout my journey,&#8221; she said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1st Fish Hoek Sea Scouts Scout Group Leader Andrew Wannenburgh is beaming with pride for Johnston&#8217;s award and commends her for her dedication. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are 34 000 Scouts in South Africa, but only 45 Scouts earn the Springbok Scout Award (highest award) each year. This is a great achievement,&#8221; he said. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, she hopes to keep expanding her skills within the scouts.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t wait to start a new chapter and get more involved in Scouting and Guiding from the side of adult leadership! I&#8217;m also looking forward to furthering my studies of the world in my degree.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d encourage people to join Scouts and Guides both as adults and as children for the outdoor adventures, leadership skills and opportunities to give back that they can offer,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young Scout from Fish Hoek proved her
