Citizen of the Year

Lyn Mann

As the Joey Scout Leader at East Ryde, Lyn – a Scouting volunteer for 40 years – provides valuable training and activities for young boys and girls in our local area. Such is her dedication that she continued to support families via online meetings during the pandemic lockdowns. Her contribution to the adult leader team is invaluable and, with over 150 members, 1st East Ryde Scout Group is now one of the largest and most successful Scout groups in NSW.
