Fish Hoek teens wins top scout, range honors
False Bay Echo
|July 10, 2025
At just 18 years old, Fish Hoek’s Madelin Johnston has achieved a rare feat — earning the highest awards from both Scouts South Africa and Girl Guides South Africa.
A member of both the 1st Fish Hoek Sea Scouts and the 1st Fish Hoek Rangers, Madelin was recently awarded the prestigious Springbok Scout and Protea Ranger awards - the top accolades in each organisation.
To earn them, she completed a range of demanding challenges.
These included leading a two-night hike through the Cape Point Nature Reserve with four younger Scouts, organising a two-night adventure camp for both groups, and overseeing the large-scale construction of a 13-metre bridge across the Zandvlei slipway, using only rope and wooden poles.
She also hosted a cooking competition with an orienteering twist for her Ranger crew and led a community outreach project to renovate the garden at a local Safe House for women and children. Of all her projects, the hike through Cape Point was the most demanding.
