This is a fantastic opportunity to join and gain the learning needed for your role, all from the comfort of your own home.
The Training Advisers in our District are then happy to have a Zoom validation meeting, please email one to organise a date and time.
Julie Mair, Andy Chatwin, Mike Ferris, Steven Osborn, Simon Down are available to validate any leader. Ian Sims can validate anyone not from the 2nd, 4th or the District team and Lynn Tatavossian can validate anyone not from the 1st, 6th or District team. If you do not have their emails then please do contact us using the form on the Contact page.
Appointments Advisory Committee
We desperately still need people to sign up to join the Appointsment Advisory Committee. They meet with new volunteers to make sure they are ready and supported for their new role and are suitable to work with young people.
The role is perfect for those who can’t volunteer on a regular basis as the commitment is a maximum of one evening a month. The more members we have the less meetings that need to be attended. They are usually held on the first Monday of the month if we have any new leaders.
If you are interested please let the district team know and we can put you in touch with the current chair of the committee to talk though the process. The only training requirement is Module 37 ‘Advising on Adult Appointments’ and that’s available via Zoom on 23rd July 7pm – 9.30pm.

Please find attached an updated list of events for Explorers, Young Leaders, Scout Network and anyone completing the Top Awards. Please forward onto members / teams.
Mike Baxter says they have added a workshop on employability skills after the survey – if you know anyone who could contribute to this, please let contact Mike directly. [email protected]
District AGM
The Distrcit’s AGM is to be held on Wednesday 8th July 2020 between 7pm and 8.30pm via Zoom. The details have been sent out by email for all leaders to register interest before being opened up.
At the AGM, Christine Hughes is sadly standing down after 16 years as our District Chair. Chris has done a fantastic job and will be greatly missed, although I know Chris will still be at our District events and supporting local groups. Thank you Chris, we really appreciate all you have done.
Clive Henry has kindly agreed to take over the reins from Chris, so a huge welcome and thank you to Clive as our new District Chair from next month.
Sadly Fiona Francis has said she will also be stepping down as our District Minutes Secretary in December. We will be sad to see Fiona leave and will be greatly missed too. I am sure we will still see Fiona at our District events.
Congratulations
Julie Mair, as Lynn Tatavossian’s Training Advisor, sends congratulations to Lynn on completing all her training modules as DC and ACC Inclusion. Sincere thanks to Julie for the Zoom validation and support.
Camping Challenge
The Hampshire Camping challenge has been adapted for camping at home. To get the camping challenge badge with #campathome you simply have to ‘camp’ a certain number of nights before the end of the year.
This challenge is open to Beavers (min 3 nights), Cubs (min 6 nights), Scouts (min 9 nights), Explorers, Network and Leaders (min 12 nights). Section leaders can complete with their section (I.e. do same number of nights) if they wish. Sign up to the Camping Challenge here.
