Rama's Roundup - Jan/Feb 2018

Rama’s Roundup – (all suggestions gratefully received for an alternative title!)

Firstly may I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy New Year.

Last term I managed to get out to start visiting several troops, units and districts and would like to thank you all for your hospitality. It some respects it was a term of campfires with a fantastic bonfire and fireworks display at Bungay (good luck in devising the next method of lighting the bonfire on a raft on the middle of the river) and Bury District’s Carols around the Campfire at RAF Honington.

The Ringtail Review - Jan/Feb 2018

RingtailIt may have got chillier but the weather has not stopped the 6-11 year olds of Suffolk exploring and continuing to carry out great Scouting.

The Smartie Challenge has finished on a very high note with Debenham Beavers raising £50 for the local hospice HOPS, which came and ran a disability evening and where the cheque was presented to them at the end of the evening. And to top that I was invited to go along to the TOPCATS grand opening of their sensory room. This fantastic resource was completed with their money raised by the Lowestoft Beavers. I was unfortunately unable to attend the event but I asked Gemma, acting ADC Lowestoft to go on my behalf. Gemma felt blessed knowing that her colonies have helped in such a tremendous way and helping their local people.

Commissioner's Corner - 'Sup Suffolk - Jan-18

Hello Suffolk

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed the New Year celebrations. It is hard to believe that we are already in the middle of January.But time does press on and so does the scouting that we do, to facilitate our young people in their development.I must apologise for the delay in getting County News to you this month, time just seems to have slipped past so quickly and I have been a little bit preoccupied waiting for my first granddaughter to arrive.

It looks set to be a busy term.  I recently met with the Assistant County Commissioner Team, to plan the next strategic steps for Suffolk as we move ever faster into 2018.  I was excited by the vision of our ACC’s and their plans for development.  The experiences offered by CMAT and the water team, demonstrated so clearly to me the calibre of skilled leaders that we have in our county.  It was particularly exciting; to learn that firm measures are being put in place to enable young people to become permit holders for a variety of activities. This approach to giving young people responsibility for themselves and others, demonstrates very clearly the youth shaped mind-set that runs as a fundamental tenant of all that we do in our County.
