The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Hugh Alexander (Sandy) Walls on his recent award of Silver Wolf, the highest award in Scouting, which was presented to him by Scouting's Chief Commissioner of Scotland; notes that Sandy has served the 29th Glasgow (1st Newlands) Scout Group for 47 years, 30 of them as group leader; further notes that the group, which was founded in 1919, has a number of sailing dinghies and safety powerboats that offer sailing, powerboating and kayaking to members and others making it one of only three scout groups in Scotland to be recognised by the Royal Navy, and acknowledges his distinguished service as a community leader, which it considers to be worth parliamentary recognition.
