She gave much of her time to the Scout Movement where she was involved in delivering Scouting for over 35 years. During this time, she was involved in various rolls in scouting with the 14^th Gainsborough Scout Group, District Commissioner for Gainsborough Scouts, Assistant County Commissioner, and Leader Training for both County and District. Over the years she had the help of many other adults, many that have stayed very close friends to bring the Scout Association values to help 100’s of young people of Gainsborough to reach their full potential on life’s journey. 

In 2019 she was awarded the prestigious scouting award the Silver Wolf by the Chief Scout Bear Grylls for outstanding commitment to Scouting This award is the highest award in Scouting for adult volunteers and is the Scout equivalent of the MBE’s. It was a double celebration as it was also awarded to husband Alan. The award was never officially presented or worn due to Covid 19.

The family would like to express a big thank you to the Gainsborough Community Nurses, Gainsborough Bluebird caring team, St Barnabas Hospice nurses and Marie Curie nurses for all their professionalism and care in nursing given to Margaret at home during the last week of her life.
