Congratulations to Company Section Officer Max, who was at Buckingham Palace to receive his Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award — the highest level of the DofE, and a tremendous personal achievement that takes months of effort across volunteering, physical, skills and expedition sections, plus a residential.

We hope Max and his Mum enjoyed a memorable day at the Palace. It's a proud moment for him and for the whole Company — exactly the kind of leadership and perseverance the Boys' Brigade sets out to nurture.

Well done, Max!
