Hi All

I hope you are enjoying the summer break.

I am pleased to announce that Barbara Hughes has taken on the Role of ADC Scouts for the District with effect from 1^st September. I know she has a lot of ideas for the Scout Section and I am sure you will join me in Congratulating her. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Keith Norton for all the work he has done for the Scout Section. Keith will continue in his role as DDC and will continue to support Groups with specific tasks as and when required.

Sue Moffat Scout Leader from the 12^th Fairfield will be taking on the role as Appointments Secretary in addition to her role as Scout Leader and my thanks to her for doing this. There will be a handover period and I will advise of the official date in due course.

Congratulations and thank you to both Barbara and Sue on taking on these new roles!
