District Lead Volunteers - Bury St Edmunds District
I’m delighted to announce that Leigh Foster-Green and Steve Williams have been appointed to the role of District Lead Volunteer and will be effective from 23 January 2025.
Leigh has held a variety of adult roles at Group, District and County levels for 25 years, such as Assistant Scout Leader at Mildenhall, Assistant District Commissioner (Scouts) in Bury St Edmunds, and Deputy County Commissioner in Suffolk. Leigh continues to be involved in leader and manager training delivery in the county and region. He has most recently been a Deputy District commissioner for Bury St Edmunds and the Group Lead Volunteer at Mildenhall, a role that he will retain.
Steve has held roles at Group and District levels for 26 years, including Scout Leader at 1st Horringer and Assistant District Commissioner (Scouts) in Bury St Edmunds. Steve continues to be an active Nights Away Adviser. Steve has most recently been a Deputy District Commissioner for Bury St Edmunds.
I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to Tony Millburn, who stepped in to perform the duties of the DC / DLV last February when nobody else did. His service to Scouting and our wider community is truly appreciated. I’m very pleased to confirm that Tony will remain a member of Scouts, taking on new challenges at county and will continue to support this district in the future.
I ask all volunteers and young people to welcome and support Leigh and Steve as they settle into their new roles and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact them or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
