ADC Group Support

I am very pleased to announce that Joyce Flitcroft has agreed to take on this new role for the District. Joyce is a highly experienced volunteer and has been District Secretary and ADC Cubs as well as other roles in the past and has over 40 years Scouting experience.

The main aim of the role is to work with Groups to develop them to make stronger more active Groups with the end aim to ensure we offer Scouting to as many young people as possible. Joyce hopes to engage other adults from across the District to help in this key role and I hope this will help as we try to grow the District in line with our District Development Plan over the next 5 years.

I hope you will give both your full support and backing.
