Special place in heart for Special Scouts


One big family: Pau (first row standing, third from right) and Pulau Tikus assemblyman Yap Soo Huey (in white) with volunteers and participants at the 12th Penang Cheshire Agoonoree at the Penang Water Sports Recreation Centre in Tanjung Bungah.

GEORGE TOWN: Scouts have to learn how to tie all kinds of knots, but the Special Scouts can go one better – these scouts with disabilities can do it using their feet.

It was their special abilities that motivated the scoutmaster of the 62nd George Town South Scout Troop, Veronica Pau Mei Ling, 50, to champion the Penang Cheshire Agoonoree, a yearly camp for scouts with disabilities, for the last 12 years.
