Happy New Year to all Scouts in Gloucestershire.  I hope the year ahead will bring you everything you wish for, for yourself, your family and your Group/District/County.  We are planning some great things for the coming year so please keep your eyes and ears open.

Remember you should now be wearing your Jubilee badges on your uniforms – pleased to see that one District is supporting the cost of the badges.  Please register soon with your Diamond Jubilee projects at .

And don’t forget the Explorer and Network 10th anniversary celebrations.  A good opportunity for encouraging our members to get their thinking caps on to plan some fun events.

See you all soon

Paul D. Trott

PS:  And please remember to get started on your census returns.  I know HQ have had a few problems this year but that doesn’t stop us collecting the data so we’re ready when the system goes live.  Thanks.
