Suffolk Show 2012 - 1-day only
ExpiredThe Scouting prescence at this year's Suffolk show on the 7th & 8th June was made by the Orwell District.
It was a wet and windy affair this year and eventually, the 2nd day was cancelled due to Health and Safety fears for the public attending the event.
The Scouts put on a good show for the visitors and encouraged them to have a go at some of their activities as you can see in the photo where one of the Show Members was trying out some modern stilts - perhaps he knew more rain was on the way!
More photos from the event are in the Photos link (top menu bar) and in the Suffolk Show Gallery.
Jubilee Beacons.. and more!
ExpiredThere were a number of Jubilee Beacons lit by Scouts in Suffolk. One in particular hit the news in Lowestoft and had a report on Anglia TV.. see anyone you recognise?
If you were camping this past weekend, and I know a lot of you were, didn’t you choose well?. It has been glorious!
I visited Stowmarket District camp at Haughley Park on Saturday. I was able to present Gerard Brewster, Dave Newbery and Bob Delf with the bar to the Silver Acorn. All done very informally at the Campfire. The Campfire run by Leigh Foster with the help of Stowmarket Leaders was great fun. I love a good sing-song and we certainly sang with gusto.
The Scout Association is seeking a new Regional Commissioner for the East of England.
The role of a Regional Commissioner is rewarding and an opportunity to develop yourself. You will have the opportunity to meet young people and adults whose lives have been changed by Scouting, and to inspire and help Counties and Districts grow and deliver even more exciting and adventurous activities to even more young people.
