The Scouts in Malta played a very important part during World War II. Shortly after the Island and its Islanders was awarded the George Cross by His Majesty King George VI, the Bronze Cross was awarded to the Scouts in Malta. Fifty years afterwards a commemorative medal was struck and the Boy Scouts Association of Malta selected me as one of its proud recipients. Mr Wayne R. Nicol, District Commissioner of Chatham District - Scouts Canada made the official presentation to me during a Baden Powell dinner.
