Jenny's Christmas Journal 2011
Well, another year almost finished. I am so pleased that I was able to visit so many of you during the year and to hear your views on Scouting.
The overwhelming message seems to be that you are enjoying it and this comes from both the Leaders and the young people, from Beaver Scouts to Scout Network.
