Jack Petchey Award

2nd Braintree and Bocking Air Scouts are recipients of the Jack Petchey Bronze award scheme for Youth Organisations and Clubs. This scheme gives the Scout section £200 to spend every quarter. How this money is spent is decided by the award winner each month based on a wish list created by the Scout section.

Each quarter Scouts will be asked to vote for a Scout they feel is exceptionally hard working or has done something really positive for other people.
