THURROCK Scouts held an annual celebration of their 2016 Jack Petchey Award winners at the Council Chambers in Grays.

The 22 young people each received a framed certificate, gold medallion and lapel pin from the Jack Petchey Foundation to recognise their outstanding achievement.

Each winner received £250 that can be spent on something of their choice to benefit their Scouting Section or Group.

Three adults were present who received awards for Scouting dedication.
