July meeting:

 

A special meeting will be held in July to discuss the proposed changes to the Camping / Cooking competition – possibly at 1^st Bedworth. This will be a meeting open to all involved in the competition, not just Scout leaders, so if you have an opinion come along.

 

District Camp 2009:

 

This was generally a good event.  The general consensus was that maybe it could have been better organised by grouping activities by physical location to reduce the time spent walking between bases. 

 

Scout Challenge:

 

Well done to Bulkington for organising the event, Central 1^st and 2^nd, Wolvey 3rd

 

Miller Trophy:

 

Bulkington have awarded 17 Chief Scout Gold and Bedworth 7.  To make this a fairer system for future years this will be factored as follows:

 

Number of Gold Awards / start of year census figures

 

Malvern Challenge:

 

Meeting 10^th June at 1^st Bedworth 19:00  If you have any extra people wanting to go please let Tony know asap.

 

DC’s Input:

 

The date for this years Ghost Hunt needs to be changed to avoid clashing again with JOTA/JOTI.

 

Please publicise the Veterans Parade at Bulkington on June 27^th – details have been sent out by separate email.

 

Leaders Meeting venues:

 

The venues for the meetings will be discussed at the September meeting
