There is still time to register, but there is a small late booking fee of £10.00/13.00. Ninety young people from Junior Sections throughout the Region, representing many Companies along with 42 Leaders, descended on Kilkenny College for the annual Junior Section Activity Weekend on Friday 15th May 2009.

The 3rd Cardiff Company were this year’s winners of The Terry Pasley Endeavour Award because of their Charity, Community and Youth Work. Over the last year the company has worked hard to raise money for those less fortunate than themselves. They managed to raise over £1000 for four different charities through a sleepover, a sponsored swim, a collection at their 125th Anniversary Celebration service and filling Smartie Tubes with loose change. The charities were Ty-Hafan Children’s Hospice, ChildLine, Treganna Family Centre and The Boys’ Brigade’s Palm in Palm project. Steve Miles, from 3rd Cardiff, commented “We were more than pleased to hear that we had won. The money from winning the award will help towards our programme of activities for the company which we are sure Terry Pasley would approve of.” Well done to everyone, they are all worthy winners of the Endeavour Award.
