Commissioner's Corner - 'Sup Suffolk - Jun-18
Hello Suffolk
What a busy few months we have all had, as we head into the summer. As always I have been blown away by the quality scouting experiences we have been giving our young people and the opportunities they are being given to shape their experience, whilst developing skills for life.
The new branding guidelines were released in May and alongside it the new logo for our movement. The feedback I have had about the new brand has been overwhelmingly positive, in both our young people and our adult volunteers. The fresh new look to the scouting brand doesn’t change the provision we offer on the ground of course, but it does give us a fresh, marketable logo that has been designed to reflect our movement as a modern, contemporary provision for young people up and down the UK. It has been lovely to see so many of you using the new branding in advertising your events, activities and fundraisers. I urge you all to promote scouting using the new brand, so that we are offering a consistent message to those both in and out of scouting about who we are and what we stand for. More information and resources about all things branding can be found here - https://scoutsbrand.org.uk/home.

Some of you, especially those who are involved in Scouting in the Stowmarket District, will already know that the District Commissioner, Barbara Cutting is soon to step down from the role.
A Search Group is at work looking for names to offer to the County Commissioner as suitable candidates to succeed Barbara in order to continue and build on the development and growth of the District which she has achieved during her time as DC.
The Search Group seeks your assistance in its task.

County Archives
A number of scouters have kindly dropped off a considerable amount of material and it has now come to the stage where the amount has been overwhelming. I am now asking that a different procedure is followed.
· Any person who wishes to deposit material MUST phone me first and then I will visit them rather than them dropping the material at my house.
· I would appreciate it if people who possess this material do a preliminary sort before the material passes to me.
