UK Trustee Nominations are Open
ExpiredNominations are open for the Board of Trustees and we’d like your help spreading the word with your local teams to encourage people to stand.
This year we have five vacancies, each for a three-year term:
• One for an Elected Youth Member
• Two from the England North Electoral College
• One from the England South Electoral College
• One from the Scotland Electoral College
Following a skills audit of the current Trustees, we’ve identified that we’d benefit from individuals with expertise in the following areas: Charity Fundraising, Digital and Youth Work. We would also particularly welcome applications from candidates from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds and disabled candidates, as these groups are under-represented on our Board.
If you know of any member of the Scouts who you think would be a great member of our Board of Trustees, please help us with encouraging them to submit a nomination. The deadline is Friday 24 June.

Drop by and say hello today or tomorrow when we'll be in the Pageant Parade at the closing ceremony.
Gone Home - Paul Hill
Expired(Updated 13-Jun). Paul passed away in hospital yesterday after a short illness. Our condolences go to Jean and family. Paul became an Assistant Scout Leader in 1958 at 18 in Stowmarket. Over the last 63 years, he held many roles and was District Commissioner on 3 separate occasions as well as an Assistant County Commissioner for 9 years. More recently he was the County Training Team treasurer and a member of the Stowmarket OWLS Active Support unit.
His dedication to scouting was noted when he gained the highest level of Good Service Award, the Silver Wolf, in 2005.

Inclusion & Disability Updates
ExpiredThis month sees the launch of Inclusion and Diversity Open Forums which are virtual drop-in sessions to come along and ask for help and advice on any aspect of inclusion and diversity, or to tell us about things that are going well in this area as I would like to include more examples from groups in the county newsletter. They are open to any adult volunteer, and you can stay for the whole session or just drop in to ask a question. See the link below for more details and timing of these Teams meetings.
