Thank you John Gardiner for your excellent support to Scouting especially at Wearne Bay Sea Scouts over many years as Treasurer and supporter of scouts in Illawong and surrounding areas.
John was a very welcoming and communicative family man and helped the large scout group with activities. So it was always a joy to catch up with him with his cheery smile and g'day.
John and I were both presented with the Queens Scout Award by Sir Roden Cutler, Governor of NSW, a few years apart. He was presented with his in 1976 when he was a Senior Scout at Wooloware Scouts. His parents were both leaders in Scouts and Guides respectively. By a happy coincidence both our children were also awarded the Queens Scout Award at Wearne Bay scouts and are on the Honour Board at Wearne Bay.
Gone too soon, as we say in scouting, John has Gone Home.
