Katy Gallagher has announced that Hannah Lord bears the title of 2007 Young Canberra Citizen of the Year.
Some brief googling and a Scouts web page suggests this could be a picture of her:
Why is she so special?
“She has won a Queens Scout Award in 2005 and in 2006 was a Team Leader of 42 young people in the Solomon Islands Project as part of a United Nations and the Scouts ACT project.
She is also a member of the ACT Youth Orchestra where she plays both piano and the violin.
“Hannah’s compassion and dedication towards others in the community is commendable,†Ms Gallagher said.”

Bonfire: hang on, you joined the cadets for the guns.
But don’t most scout groups keep a well stocked paramilitary grade armoury in the cellar.
Well… don’t they. The scout group my friend was in a few years back did..
Oh wait, he was from Iraq:)
Note the funeral pyre burning behind them.
The smiles all make sense now – thanks Hasdrubahl 🙂

defiantly deserves huh 🙂
i went to venturers with her, she defiantly deserves the award 🙂
i wonder if she is one of guys persecutors ?
when I was that age I wanted to have fun and enjoy myself so I got blasted on booze and drugs.
It said on the website that she was a rover anyway Mecon and Ralph, which from what I can gather is the retirement home for Scouts that don’t want to let go and face the real world (ages 17-26 according the the website).
When I was that age, I felt the need to do something productive that would benefit both myself and the wider community while allowing me to further develop my great affitinity with nature. I joined Artillery…
Being in the army is like being in the Boy Scouts, except that the Boy Scouts have adult supervision.

I didn’t win the award, I don’t need to be inclusive 😉
Jeez ed, does it have to be so Us and Them?
My sister was a Queen Scout with Hannah and they both kick arse. Easily better than you lot!
i left the scouts and joined the cadets, where they let us shoot guns.
and cadets was co-ed…
C’mon bonfire, get with the century, it must be 20 years there have been girls in scouts.
shouldnt she be in the brownies or guides ?
I only used the 100% genuine dead cow with press stud version myself.
i take issue with the use of a koala as a woggle. would have never have happened in my day.
shows that when you suppress good old fashioned bastardisation, standards start slipping.
yeah and the scouts are such a fantastic organisation…apparently you are only allowed into scout if you are a theist of some sort. discriminative bastards.
Well deserved, I say.
Apologies 😛
I couldn’t help myself after Meconium’s comment. I will continue to contribute elsewhere with my usual high standard of commentary and opinion. 😛
