Mk Scouts AGM and Wayne Bulpitt
Carl and I skipped section meetings tonight and represented 1st Crownhill at the MKscouts district AGM. It was the regular business stuff but it's really important to support those who work at the wider level up. There were two visitors, the Buckingham County Commisioner and the guest speaker was Wayne Bulpitt, UK Chief Commissioner. Wayne gave a short speech and invited questions - it was a chance to ask some and I did.
I asked if the promise would change from specifically mentioning God to include those with no faith, as Guiding has dine recently. They are meeting to discuss this on Monday!
There was also a question about why so many people still think that girls cannot join after girls joining 20 years ago. Wayne felt all the publicity showed both genders and on the leaders side 48/49% are women, maybe a female chief scout would help. The other questions were about funding and community week.
An interesting evening and a chance to speak directly to the highest level of scouting. Thanks to Pat Pankhurst for arranging Wayne to speak and thanks to our dedicated District Commissioner, Mark Blomfield, district team of leaders and executive committee for all they do!

Overstone Pirate Group camp
Well, we had a fantastic time.. we arrived in rain and left in really warm sunshine. This camp was not about squeezing in too many activities but being together. We learnt some skills and ate great food - Thanks Jane & Peter.
We are so lucky to have had lots of fantastic adult help it made it easy and fun - Thanks to Jane, Emma, Adam, Jane, Niel, Peter, Martin (a secret whizz with the beavers), Sarah, Caroline, Sam & Alexander ( a beaver in waiting), Caden on his last weekend with us before heading home to Canada and the wonderful Aiden - our fabulous Young leader a sincere and heartfelt thank you
We ended with an investiture and a Chief Scout Gold being awarded.. who could ask for more?
