From your new County Commissioner

I am privileged to be selected as your new County Commissioner and I am looking forward to working with you all in developing Scouting in Greater London North. We have made great progress in the County in the last few years under Barry’s leadership and I aim to build on that progress with your support. In my short time as Acting County Commissioner I have been impressed by the drive and commitment of leaders and supporters around the County and I know that the future of Scouting in the County is in good hands. The County Development plan still remains the focus for our actions to improve and enhance the Scouting experience for the young people.

I shall be reviewing our current plan and the progress to date so we can set our goals for the next few years. l will involve the County team, Districts and Groups in this process. I will also be looking to appoint people to strengthen the County team to support Scouting at all levels. I hope to meet as many of you as possible over the coming months and welcome the opportunity to receive your comments and suggestions.

I would like to think we can have a shared vision for Scouting in GLN and I hope you will agree that everything we do should be driven by desire for ‘more young people to get better Scouting’

Yours in Scouting
