Keith Thompson : It has been announced that Keith passed away last week. Our condolences to Bobbie and family. He was active in Stowmarket for over 55 years starting with the Scout section before moving to Venture Scouts for over 25 years. He then took on the ADC Venture Scouts role for 10 years and ADC (15 years) before becoming the District Commissioner on two separate occasions! He was awarded the Bar to the Silver Acorn in 2014. Keith continued to support Scouting with the Owls SAS Unit.
Margaret Everitt : David Clements received a message from Tony that his wife had passed away 30th December. Tony was a scouter at the 9th Ipswich (before merger with 31st) before he became DC of the Woodbridge District (now part of Deben) where he was heavily involved in Water Activities. Margaret was the secretary of the Water Activities Committee for many years. They moved to Lincolnshire with a job and both continued their Scouting there.
