Ranger obtains Springbok award

A young Scout from Fish Hoek proved her mettle among 34 000 and scooped the coveted Springbok Scout Award last week.

Madelin Johnston (18), represents both the 1st Fish Hoek Sea Scouts and the 1st Fish Hoek Rangers and also received a Protea Ranger award that evening.

The 1st Fish Hoek Sea Scout Group caters for scouts starting at the ages of five to 17 years old.

In the past, Faith Morris, representing the 1st Muizenberg Sea Scout Group, collected toys, books and toiletries for children with life-threatening illnesses. She wanted the community to join her cause ("Scout raises funds," People's Post 13 May).

Johnston is currently majoring in physics and applied mathematics at the University of Cape Town (UCT).

Her favourite hobbies include sailing, hiking, camping and drawing.

"I enjoyed the service project I led at the local Safe House for women and children immensely. During this time I got to renovate their garden space."
