Members of a popular youth group have been presented with the Queen's Badge during a special event in Renfrewshire.

A total of 15 young people from the Boy's Brigade were honoured during the gathering at Elderslie Kirk last week.

Work carried out by the members to achieve their Queen's Badge included 120 hours of service with various charities such as Poppyscotland.

The event was attended by David Love, president of Boy's Brigade Paisley and District, and Renfrewshire Provost Lorraine Cameron, who presented the awards.

Mr Love said: "At a time when young people are often criticised, stereotyped and judged by others in error, such labels are false, often applied in error. 

"These young men before us tonight are an example of the cream of youth of today. 

"Our Queen's Badge men have undertaken a commitment to develop skills and interests that will benefit of our community."

Provost Cameron added: "I was delighted to be invited to present these awards to young men who have achieved much in their young lives and will lead by example to others who will follow their example."
