Hello and welcome to the Autumn Term.
I am Ann-Marie Vinnicombe, your new District Commissioner, as such I am going through a learning curve and wanted to share information about our District make-up.
Our District cannot run without the hundreds of adult volunteers across our Groups and at District level, as well as the support from the volunteers at County and HQ Gilwell.
The District has an Executive Committee, Manda Bragg being Chair, to ensure that we adhere to charity and Scout governance as well as amongst other things ensuring the District stays solvent.
We have Jack Fidler and Mathew Whitaker as District Youth Commissioners to support youth focus programmes.
Each Scouting Section has an Assistant District Commissioner to support our Group:
- Beavers – Ian Jacob
- Cubs – Nicky Clements
- Scouts – Karl Arnold
Our District has 8 Groups led by their Group Scout Leaders and Group Exec.
- 2nd Hale – Hale Rec. – Liz Larkin
- 3rd Town Centre – Daniel Hall – Neil Peerman
- 4th Tongham – Poyle Rd – Bill Weller
- 5th Bourne – Taylor Hall – Ian Turton&Liz Chart
- 7th Elstead – Village Hall – Paul Hammersley
- 8th Rowledge – Village Hall – Peter Everett
- 11th East Town – Guildford Rd – Graeme Morgan
- 12th Wrecclesham – Community Centre – Adam Chambers
We also have 4 strong Explorer Units co-ordinated by Ian Wilkins, District Explorer Scout Commissioner
- Eigar Tigers
- K2
- Madcats
- Scorpions
Neil Peerman is the District Scout Network Commissioner guiding a strong Network Unit
We also have a versatile Scout Active Support Unit, who are invaluable in supporting events across the District including the District Family Camp.
Thank you to everyone who volunteers making Scouting possible.
Ann-Marie
