The CMAT team have organised a hill walking permit and assessment weekend (mainly for leaders) in Mar-2019 based at Great Tower in the Lake District.On offer is hillwalking and training or assessment for a hillwalking permit. The weather is often severe at this time of year and attendees should come suitably prepared.
An optional overnight wild camp will be offered to those with appropriate experience and equipment. Note this is an essential aspect of the Terrain 2 permit assessment, but is not required for Terrain 1 or personal permit assessment.
The application forms (Word format) are now on the main CMAT Activities page (click on link) and return asap to Andrew Waller.
Youth Shaped Month is here!
#YouShape month is back for February and a time to celebrate Youth Shaped Scouting in Suffolk.
Youth Shaped Scouting isn’t a new concept, it’s been around since Baden Powell’s time. It is a fundamental of what we do in Scouting!
Youth Shaped Scouting is:
Young people (aged 6-25) shaping and influencing their Scouting adventure, working in partnership with adult leaders!
This YouShape month we want to celebrate even more and even louder!
We would like to ask EVERY group to participate!
What you can do:

Commissioner's Corner - 'Sup Suffolk - Dec-2018
Hello Suffolk,
What a busy autumn term we have all had! As always you, our volunteers, have been busy providing opportunities for Suffolk’s young people in a plethora of ways. Sections, Groups and Districts have been making the most of the milder autumn conditions by getting young people outside as much as possible and enjoying all that this season has to offer.
Wolsey District Scouts and Sudbury’s Cubs both took part in scouting skills days in their respective districts in which many new skills were developed. Sudbury Explorers took part in the Sudbury Jailbreak, which is an awesome large scale 24 hour hide and seek event in which Explorers must not get caught. In Deben, 1st Saxmundham Cubs enjoyed a hike from Thorpeness to Aldeburgh despite it being a terribly windy night along the coast.
The Ringtail Review - Autumn 2018
“Autumn days, when the grass is jewelled
And the silk inside a chestnut shell
Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled
All these things I love so well”
The nights are drawing in but it this hasn’t stopped the 6-11years enjoying themselves, Sixers and Seconders camps and group camps have taken place in Wolsey. Lowestoft Beavers had a fantastic camp at Herringfleet. Wolsey District had a splashing time at the Swimming Gala.
As I sit and write my final Ringtail’s Review I would like to thank everyone past and present for their help and encouragement throughout these years.
