The Commander Bruce Award 2023

16 March 2023

Hampshire Scouts have recently relaunched an award called the ‘The Commander Bruce Award 2023’. You can read the award guidelines and submission details here.

The Commander Bruce Award (previously called The Bruce Award) was introduced after the Bruce family gave some money to Hampshire Scouts from a collection taken at the memorial service of the late Lieutenant Commander Henry V Bruce – a former chair of Hampshire Scouts – held at Winchester Cathedral. Explorer Scouts carried the flag leading theprocession.

Presented annually, the award is given to a youth member of Hampshire Scouts, who had inspired and encouraged others in Scouts either over a period or at a one-off event. In 2023 the total award prize amount is £1,000 kindly given by the Bruce family and another benefactor.
