This was the first time we met William. I remember that we all had a really nice day out and William was laughing a lot about our craziness. We'll always think fondly of him ❤️

Our paths crossed in different ways William. As you were lumbered with the most inexperienced traveller to help you get your cameras through security as we headed out to Kenya with the Scout in 2023. Then you joined my caseload in 2023 and you introduced me to a whole world of Christmas Lego, which was heartwarmingly awesome. Thank you.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Serving lunch at The Melon Mission in Kenya when William joined Somerset Scouts in 2023.  Having fundraised and collected donations, William spent a week working with children from 3 different schools across Nakuru sharing skills and stories with all.

William building the Lego Christmas village was as much part of our Christmas preparations as watching the Muppet’s Christmas movie. His love of Lego, Scouts, being outdoors, spending time with family and life made him so special to so many people. He was kind, funny, cheeky, always cheerful, loving, thoughtful and so very, very brave. We spent many hours crafting together, times and memories I will treasure forever. It was a privilege to be part of his life and for him to call me Aunty. Such a special, and, much loved Nephew. Sending much love to Janine, James, Rhys and Mum.

Always up to mischief together, this time at the funday with tattoos. “Are you sure you want me to put this on your forehead William?!”  😂😂

I have such wonderful memories of our summer cub camps. William was in our group and we shared fun times cycling, Brownsea Island, Bristol zoo, Palton park, swimming etc. His energy and enthusiasm lives on.
