Commissioner's Corner - 'Sup Suffolk - Sep-17

Welcome to the autumn edition of County News, as we head in to a new scouting year.  I hope you all had a fabulous summer, whether you spent it resting, planning, camping here in the UK or of course travelling.  In scouting, our summer breaks are often very busy, as expeditions and larger camps get underway. The summer of 2017 has been no exception. Suffolk Scouts have been globetrotting, camping and taking part in amazing activities all throughout the summer months, creating a long trail of memories, which for hundreds of our young people will, I am sure, last a lifetime.

Orwell District Explorers had an awesome time as participants at the Danish National Jamboree in Sønderborg. This experience saw 17 explorers joining with 37,000 other international scouts and guides, sharing in cultural exchange and enjoying a plethora of activities and making friends.Jamboree’s really are a special opportunity and my thanks go to Rob and Heather Bridges, as well as Michael Peck for all of their hard work in providing young people with a Jamboree experience.
