New District minibus

Description: Description: Description: C:\Users\802982368\Documents\Scouts\Scout WEB\mbus.jpgThe District has acquired a new District minibus (pictured opposite).  This ‘55’ registration, 17 seater, Ford Transit replaces the 22 year old previous minibus.

 In accordance with the current District Strategic Plan agreement was given by the District Executive to purchase a replacement minibus and after some research and exploring the market a very suitable replacement was purchased.  It has now been sign written and had a tow bar fitted and is really for use for camps, day trips, etc.   

 As with the old minibus it will be sponsored for servicing by Harish’s Auto Services and bookings for its use will be taken via Keith Savage or Graham Franks who can email you a loan request form as well as terms and conditions for its use.  The ‘suggested donations’ for its use, to cover its running costs, are  £40 for an evening, £70 for a day, £100 for a weekend and £300 for a full week.  Please make use of this valuable District asset to enhance your section programmes – it is there for everybody to make use of!

Following the closure of the 'Outdoors' (Scout Shop) in Harrow, uniform and Scouting items can be purchased over the phone or on the net from 'Outdoors' 01903 766921 or www.scouting.outdoors.ltd.uk.

Special Offer To Scouts From The Tall Ships Youth Trust
The Trust has recently received a generous donation to enable young people aged 16-25 join our tall ships voyages.

For more information about their voyages (residential youth centres for 48 young people and 20 responsible adults) and the Trust - visit their website at www.tallships.org.

Programmes Online
Programmes Online (POL) will provide a ready source of tried and tested programme and activity ideas.  These are now available through My BackPack at www.scouts.org.uk.

Free YHA Membership
YHA has a strong commitment to encouraging young people to be more independent through travel. It also has more than 220 Youth Hostels, 50 Camping Barns and 35 Campsites in some of the most amazing locations in England and Wales. So if you're planning a trip to the big city or to escape to the wilds of the countryside have a look at what YHA can offer.

New members!
So far, the Web site has proved to be an effective way that new members can find out about Scouting, and find a group near to them.  Over the past year, I have received several enquires and have been able to place these young people in a Group that met their needs.
