GLNE Scouts are launching a final intiative to reach our target of £5000 in order to sponsor a Guide Dog.

We are already close to our target thanks to the hard work and kindness of Scouts across the County.

Please help us to achieve our aim by taking part in Guide Dog November

It is with regret that I have to announce the resignation of Charles Paddon as ACC (Explorer Scouts) with immediate effect.

Charles is getting married soon and has decided to scale back some of his commitments during this busy time. Charles has played a key part in the development of Explorer Scouting across the County over the last couple of years and we thank him for his support and look forward to him getting involved in other projects in due course. The process of finding a replacement begins immediately. Anyone who would like to discuss the role or nominate someone to take it on is asked to contact myself for further details.

It is with regret that I announce that Stuart Goodway will be standing down as County Training Administrator and a member of the County Training Team as of 31st October.

Stuart now lives outside the County and this has meant a significant increase in travelling time to attend courses and meetings. Stuart was a member of the original team of 4 from GLNE that set up the Adult Training Scheme in 2004 when it was first launched and has played a key part within training ever since. He brought within him a wealth of training experience from New Zealand where he was a member of the national Scout Training Team. As County Training Administrator Stuart has kept records and created reports which has allowed us to monitor the take up of courses and the needs of learners within GLNE. Stuart has also been instrumental in working behind the scenes on the MSS, more commonly known as My BackPack.

On behalf of GLNE I thank Stuart for all he has done and wish him well in the future. I will shortly begin the recruitment process to find a new County Training Administrator.
