Other Climbing Courses
The publicity officer for Essex County Scout Caving Team would like to inform leaders in GLNE that they still have places on their June Badge Course. Their courses consist of a training day on 15th June at Billericay in Essex and a weekend (Friday evening to Sunday in Somerset – caving. If any Scouts (+12 on 27th June 2008) or Explorers wish to try caving then they are happy to take them. Further details can be found at in the application pack on www.ecsct.org or if you have any specific queries please email Chris. They do NOT require the young persons Leader to accompany them – Finding space for adult leaders is difficult (although we can probably accommodate 1 or 2 )

LONDON, 15 APRIL: 24 of the top Scouting volunteers in London were recognised last night for the thousands of hours of their time they give to young people, at a special awards event in Docklands, London.
The award winners were chosen from over 7,800 adult volunteers involved in London Scouting in order to thank them for their outstanding service to young people.
Among them is Russell Vaughan, a 33 year old volunteer Explorer Scout Leader from Greater London North East. Over the last 10 years, Russell has enabled hundreds of London Scouts to experience the thrill of outdoor activities such as mountaineering, rock-climbing and canoeing.

New DC for East London
by Dean Jefferys, County Commissioner
I am pleased to announce that Alan Hands has been appointed as the new District Commissioner for East London as from 1st April 2008. Alan has had a long background in Scouting, having joined as a youth member in Tower Hamlets following a chance meeting with a local Scout Leader.
Alan eventually became Group Scout Leader of the 4th Poplar, before leading the GLNE and GLN Contingent to the World Scout Jamboree in Thailand. In addition, Alan served as District Commissioner for Ilford NorthWest for five years and is currently Group Scout Leader of a Sea Scout Group in Ilford.
Alan brings with him a wealth of experience in all aspects of Scouting and is looking forward to being a unifying presence in East London. Alan was the favoured choice of the District Search Group and I am delighted that he has agreed to take on the position. He brings with him local knowledge, but he is also an outsider, having not being actively involved in the area for some years.
I am sure you will all join me in welcoming me to this key role and will give Alan your support as he works to grow and develop Scouting in East London.
