Tribute to Joshua Auditore

03 May 2018

Mr MATT KEAN (Hornsby—Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation) (16:53): I congratulate the efforts of Joshua Auditore on being awarded the prestigious Australian Scout Medallion. This award is given only to those who have completed and received numerous other badges, have demonstrated an active leadership role within Scouts and who serve others. As well as having to fill those criteria, Josh had to complete a three-day hike, run a leadership activity, and complete other special interest and scouting challenges such as abseiling, radio communication and first aid. Josh is the third Berowra Scout in the group's history to achieve this prestigious award. He is a tremendous young man who worked hard to achieve a goal. Josh is an inspiration to other scouts hoping to win the medallion. He encourages others of all ages to work for what they want. Josh is a role model. I wish him all the best for his bright future.
