Ms Sue Mitchell is a marvellous woman whose two sons had also been Scouts, before she even became involved in Scouting. She related how she was in the mountains when a huge grey kangaroo hopped by right in front of her vehicle - hot in pursuit behind the kangaroo was a 16-year old Scout.
What she saw that day, on the boy's face - the exhilarating excitement and pure joy caused a passion within her to rise and stirred so strongly it convinced her that she needed to dedicate time into Scouting; to provide opportunities for the young (regardless of race or background) to grow uninhibited in a healthy environment. She believes firmly that Scouting is an organisation which provides opportunities for learning skills for life while having fun.
I'm sure that its this passion that has brought her to where she is today: Chief Commissioner of Western Australia. She leads a marvellous team of commissioners like Sheridan, Vern, Cricket and Nathan who had been excellent hosts with us the last couple of days.
