Student Donna Jones has gained the top award in scouting.
She was presented with her Queen's Scout award by county commissioner Tim Kidd at a party.

The former pupil of John Mason School in Abingdon is an occupational therapy student at Oxford Brookes University.
To get her award, she had to do a variety of tasks, including a major expedition on the Isle of Wight and community work.
She is a part-time lifeguard at the Old Gaol in Abingdon.
