Something from the commissioner...

What a fantastic month April was for leader opportunities. We had the Bell boat Helm’s course and Inspire and Grow - our county training day it was wonderful to see leaders enjoying all the different sessions, going away with new ideas and catching up with friends old and new. Thank you, Lynsey for organising such a successful day, Deborah for co-ordinating the trainers and Allison and Lynda in the office for their support.

This month many units will be celebrating the King’s Coronation, Rainbows have their country park take over and Guides and Rangers are taking to the water for the watersports day. Leaders have the opportunity to catch up with what happened in the county in 2022 with the virtual annual review. More information and how to book is in this news and views. We look forward to welcoming you all.
