GAISCE GOLD AWARD FOR BARBARA MORIARTY-PEARSON
Barbara Moriarty-Pearson, a past pupil and assistant scout leader in the Celbridge Troop was awarded the Gaisce Gold Award on Tuesday 31st March
The ceremony was held in Saint Patrick's Hall, at Dublin Castle. There are generally only about 50 Gold Gaisce Awards presented each year, making Barbara a member of a very special group.
The four elements to Barbara’s achieving the gold award were: Community (assistant scout leader), Physical (member of the Reserve Defence Force), Skill (learning to drive and passing the driving test), and Venture (a 5 Day long hiking trip in Luxembourg).
Barbara's President Award Leader (PAL) is Michelle Murray, a teacher in The Kings Hospital where Barbara went to school. Michelle was unable to attend the award ceremony but sent here warmest congratulations, “I’m very proud of Barbara, it’s a great achievement, well done!”
