Copy of email sent to scouts and parents:
Hi all, with my youngest child Sarah linking to venturers, after
almost 6 years in the scout section I have decided its well and truly time to give
the other leaders some space to try new things and take scouts to a new level. The last thing they need is a cranky old
leader like me telling them what to do.
After chatting with Rod its likely I will help out with cubs
supporting Greg for the next 6 months allowing Rod the ability to step back and
focus on Group leader. I will still help
out scout section with more adventurous activities such as rock climbing, cross
country skiing, canoeing and hiking from time to time. I missed the last of cubs, moving into scout
section to cover a leader gap at the time while both my kids were still in
cubs.
I have loved my time at scouts and enjoyed the friendships
with both adult leaders and youth members.
I get a huge sense of pride seeing fantastic young capable people,
having first met many as tiny 8 year old cubs, and knowing scouting played a
part in their development.
From the end of the term please direct scout section emails
and calls to Graeme or one of the other leaders.
I’m sure I will see people around still.
