MORE than 200 people came to see Scouts honoured in a special ceremony.
The first Malling District Scouts Oscars evening was held on September 24 for young people throughout the area, including those from Ightham and Borough Green.
Young people at the event, which started at 7.30pm, also received Duke of Edinburgh Awards for volunteering, learning a skill and undertaking an expedition.
Nine Scouts from Ightham received gold awards. From Borough Green, 14 won silver and 35 bronze.
The evening, held at Malling School, Beech Road, East Malling, ended with a special presentation of the Stephen Young Award.
The prize, in memory of 18-year-old Ightham Scout leader Stephen Young, who died in a mountain accident in February 2010, was won by 13-year-old Reece Hayes, from Ditton.
