Awards

There are few trophies within the 12th New Westminster Group which get awarded on a yearly basis.

Bradford Lawless Amazing Sales Trophy (B.L.A.S.T.)

The Bradford Lawless Amazing Sales Trophy (B.L.A.S.T.) is awarded to the popcorn high seller every year. The trophy is named after a Cub who had cancer and spent a lot of time at Children’s Hospital, but was determined to sell lots of popcorn to raise money for Cubs. The trophy is to be returned the following year so it can be presented to the next winner.

The Herbert Spencer School has a memorial plaque and a memorial tree, and the PAC awards the “Bradford Lawless Memorial Bursary”. He was apparently captivated by a program to help wild camels in Mongolia. His story also inspired a book:

Bradford and the Journey to the Desert of Lop – Dawn Van Zant 616.994 Van
A family story inspired by Bradford Lawless, his battle with cancer and his quest to find a cure. His journey takes him to the Desert of Lop in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous region of China where he meets wild Bactrian camels and the people of the land. He discovers a secret within the Desert of Lop that may one day offer a cure for cancer and other diseases.

There is a memorial plaque at Camp McLean. It is on the signboard just south of the Chapel.

The B.L.A.S.T. Trophy plaque shows a rocket blasting off with popcorn under the rocket, to look smoke. It reads as follows: Bradford Lawless was the Top Seller of Popcorn in Beavers during 2001 & 2002, and was top overall as a Cub in 2003. He was proud of these accomplishments and they were mentioned during his memorial service. There was also a lot said about his sense of humour. To honour his sprit we now have the Bradford Lawless Amazing Sales Trophy. Winners of the B.L.A.S.T. Trophy have been:
