The Microsoft founder is going to be presented with the BSA’s highest honour of the Silver Buffalo Award soon according to this article.
No no matter what you may think of Microsoft and its products (and they do have their pros and cons!), Bill Gates has ploughed an awful amount of the money he’s made from MS into his and his wife’s foundation which helps, amongst other things, to improve the health of the less fortunate around the world.
I must admit I hadn’t realised he was a Scout!
The BSA ought to be congratulated in giving this award. Perhaps the Scout Association could give him an Information Technology Staged Activity Badge (see left)!
Our staged IT badge would make the silver buffalo award seem like nothing…
If you did not see the video of Bill Gate’s speech after the presentation of the Silver Buffalo, it is a great tribute to scouting.
Thanks for that Ron.
