I would like to mention two special volunteers. For over 50 years, Geoff Lee has contributed to Scouting through leadership and fundraising. This year Geoff received the World Scouting Bronze Wolf in recognition of his service. This is the highest award in World Scouting.

Geoff Lee sails his final voyage

Prominent Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron member, yachtsman and yachting benefactor Geoff Lee AM OAM has died after an extended illness.

Geoff was the immediate past chairman and a life member of the Australia Day Regatta and was instrumental in maintaining its status as the world’s oldest continuously conducted sailing regatta. Geoff had been a member of the RSYS since 1964 and was also a member of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia and a past flag officer of the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club. He donated many perpetual trophies to sailing, including one for line honours in the Australia Day ocean race to Botany Bay and return.

Over many years of active sailing, Geoff raced a succession of yachts named Taurus in ocean races and, in latter years, in harbour racing with the RSYS Division 1. Geoff was also involved in supporting many other activities, including the Scouting movement where he was Vice Chairman of the Lord Baden-Powell Society Management Committee. For over 50 years, Geoff Lee contributed to Scouting through leadership and fundraising. Geoff received the World Scouting Bronze Wolf in recognition of his service.

This is the highest award in World Scouting. He was Governor of the Sydney Heritage fleet and Board Member of the Heart Research Institute.

A Memorial Service celebrating Geoff’s life was held at St Mark’s Church, Darling Point on 4 December. Royal Motor Yacht Club Broken Bay (Newport) held its Season Opening Day on Saturday 10th November 2007
