Who was John Hill?

William Charles John Hill joined 3rd Glebe Troop in 1926 and later became a Patrol Leader. As an only child he recognised the value of the brotherhood of Scouting. The Post-Jamboree tours of England and host family hospitality taught John skills that helped him throughout his entire life.

Mindful of his own life-changing experiences by attending a World Jamboree, John set up The John & Marie Hill World Jamboree Trust Fund in 2002 to help send his fellow Scouts and Venturers to every World Jamboree.
