Family Night 2010
The evening saw several exciting changes for the group which are summarised below;
Group Scout Leader Appointed
Sarah Harris was appointed as Group Scout Leader following her success in re-building the group in her assistant role.
Chairman Appointed
Paul Higgins has taken on the role of Group Chairman and is looking to help build the group over the coming year and stengthen the executive team to provide more opportunities for the young people in the group.
At the AGM Paul had the following to say;
"During the coming year my aim is to expand our Executive Committee to hopefully fill the vacant positions, to increase our fundraising and in doing so raise the profile of our Scout Group and therefore increase our resources to enhance our children's Scouting experience.
Speaking as someone who is new to Scouting, I am passionate about it! I believe it offers our children opportunities to develop, that in our increasingly "safe" society are rare and priceless! "
As a footnote and following on from the AGM Paul added "I feel so inspired by your positive response to the AGM and want to see us build on this success during the coming year!"
Name change
It has been confirmed that the group will be changing it's name to 12th Didcot Scouts with immediate effect (although it will take us some time to update our stationary fully!). The change will not affect the activities provided by the group, in fact the Scouts are preparing for kayaking later this term and we have re-established our presence at Aqua Camp.
The name change will mean a change of uniform for the Scouts - new green shirts. New members can buy the new uniform now and an order form can be found here. Whilst current members can change to the new uniform on replacement.
Neckers
To help establish the Groups new identity and encourage a positive future we have decided to change our neckers! The new neckers are only two colours, instead of three, Purple and Gold - so no more remembering "blue to the right"!!
New neckers will be given to all members in September.
Baby Photos
On Monday there was a competition for guessing which baby picture belonged to which leader. The answers are here!
Thank you to everyone that had a go - Jane-Ann Archer and Heidi correctly guessed 6 out of 8. All entries won a tube of Haribo's.
