29–30 August 2026 was a truly memorable and proud weekend for Buddha's Light Scout Group, as our leaders and adult supporters attended the Scouts Queensland Annual Adult Recognition Awards Ceremony to celebrate the outstanding service and dedication of adult volunteers across Queensland.

On Saturday, 29 August 2026, Cub Leader Dylan Hung and our dedicated adult supporters Kwang Hooi Khor and Yvette Hart were each presented with the Special Service Award by Scouts Queensland Chief Commissioner Geoff Doo. This prestigious award recognises members who have provided exceptional service and made significant contributions to Scouting.

The celebrations continued on Sunday, 30 August 2026, when Venturer Leader Terence Lau and Assistant Scout Leader Cheng Tuck Lim were proudly presented with the Meritorious Service Award by Chief Commissioner Geoff Doo. This distinguished award honours adult members whose outstanding commitment and sustained service have made a lasting impact on the Scouting Movement.

Buddha's Light Scout Group extends our heartfelt congratulations to all six recipients. Their dedication, passion, and selfless commitment to developing young people through Scouting are truly inspiring. We are incredibly honoured that they have been recognised with these prestigious Scouts Queensland awards.

On Sunday afternoon, following the awards ceremony, our Scout family gathered to celebrate this special milestone together with all of our award recipients. We were honoured to be joined by Venerable Miao Yung, Superintendent of Chung Tian Temple, and Venerable You Cheng, the supporting Venerable for Buddha's Light Scout Group. Their presence made the celebration even more meaningful as they congratulated our recipients and acknowledged their invaluable contributions to our Scout Group and the wider community.

The celebration was made even more special as it coincided with the 8th Anniversary of Buddha's Light Scout Group, officially established on 25 August 2026. Together, we celebrated not only the achievements of our dedicated adult members but also eight wonderful years of providing meaningful Scouting experiences guided by the values of Humanistic Buddhism and the Three Acts of Goodness.

Congratulations once again to Dylan Hung, Kwang Hooi Khor, Yvette Hart, Monnie Wong, Terence Lau, and Cheng Tuck Lim on this well-deserved recognition. Your dedication, service, and leadership continue to inspire our youth members and strengthen the future of Buddha's Light Scout Group.

May we continue to grow together, serve our community with compassion, and create many more years of adventure, friendship, and goodness through Scouting.
