Founders Day #ThankTwo
By Fiona Burrows - District Commissioner ⚜ On 22 February every year, millions of Scouts around the world gather at local, national and international levels to celebrate Founder’s Day. It is the birthday of Lord Baden-Powell (1857-1941), the pioneer of Scouting. Founder’s Day is a crucial event in the Scouting calendar when members renew their Scout Promise reaffirming their commitment to the core values of the Movement. As a small child I always wore my Brownie uniform to school on 22nd February along with many other children in Scouting and Girl Guiding making the day a really special celebration. This year we are doing things a little differently and taking the time to thank our fabulous leaders and volunteers across Rushcliffe and the rest of the country.

Ivor Amos
By Fiona Burrows - District Commissioner ⚜ I am sorry to announce that Ivor Amos passed away yesterday. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Ivor was a Cub Scout Leader at 9th West Bridgford Scout Group he brought a sense of fun to the activities he ran and most memorably got the cubs making letters of the alphabet with members of each six! Earlier in his life he worked with young people with disabilities in Scouting and he could entertain the young people with many stories from his past. We thank him for his service and know that he has brightened the lives of young people during his time in Scouting. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
