of Scouts from around the county who
had all joined the movement in the past year.
Press coverage of newly opened sections around the
county, and of exciting events and expeditions has also
raised the profile of Scouting across Gloucestershire.
One of a number of tasks I wanted to
do in my first few months as CC, was to spend an evening
with each of the 8 Districts: I have so far ‘visited’
Stroud & Tetbury and Cotswold Vale Districts. Both
evenings were most enjoyable as I ‘toured’ round
visiting Colonies, Packs, Troops and Units – many
thanks for making me so welcome and above all, thanks
for all you are doing to give the Young People such a
good time.
I am currently working closely with
D.C.'s, discussing a new Support Structure. We are
looking at the type of structure needed now to
support D.C.'s, District Teams and Adults working with
young people.
We clearly need to review the current
structure which depends largely on Section A.C.C.'s and
A.D.C.'s. The challenge we have is the difficulty in a
number of cases to appoint A.C.C.'s and A.D.C.'s!
Therefore, how do we support Section Leaders?
