Victoria army cadet honoured
A young army cadet based in Victoria has been honoured for his 'outstanding leadership, energy and drive.'
Lieutenant Steven Ronner, from the Rochester Row base, picked up the prestigious Jack Petchey Outstanding Youth Leader Award on January 30 during a ceremony at the cadet headquarters in Hammersmith.
The award was presented by Honorary Colonel Adrian Drage OBE for the time Steven has devoted as a volunteer to Middlesex and North West London Army Cadet Force.
He said: "I am very honoured and proud to have received this award. It's a real boost to morale and recognition of the work that the volunteers in army cadets just get on and do."
Steven, who is originally from Pimlico, now lives in Bromley and travels twice a week to run the 235 Westminster Detachment (London Scottish).
He joined as an adult leader in 1998, and in addition to the Jack Petchey Award, Steven was also presented with the Cadet Forces Medal for his long service.
Established in 1999, the Jack Petchey Foundation supports projects that benefit young people, helping to raise their aspirations and to take advantage of opportunities.
