A couple who have devoted their whole lives to the Scouting cause have been recognised by their peers.
Roger Leach, with the help of wife Shirley, has for 30 years been warden at Lees Wood Scout and Guide Activity Centre in Chandlers Cross.
This site is run as a charity and owned by the two local Scout districts.
Roger and Shirley, who live in Denmark Street, Watford, were last week presented with a 26ins digital TV to thank them for their efforts.
Roger, 66, and Shirley, 64, met through Scout and Guide activities when they were only 12 years old and, after 44 years of marriage, the movement is still central to their lives.
"We met at St Mary's Church, Watford," Roger said.
"Shirley carried the colour for the Guides and I carried the colour for the Scouts. We have been together ever since."
Roger became camp warden in 1977, while working for Kodak Ltd in Harrow.
