Title: What is a Scout's V.C.?
Post by: J Bux on Friday 15 August 25 11:57 BST (UK)

I was researching John Bunting (1929 - 1938) son of William Bunting and Emma [nee Buxton]
On the grave stone, after the names of the parents, the headstone reads
John Bunting
Died 14th April 1938 Aged 9 Years
Scouts V. C.
Googling this has not yielded much information.  I was hoping for a list of recipients but have not been able to find any. 
Any clues as to where I might find information?
