Members in England
Following the announcement of a four-week lockdown in England from Thursday 5 November, the National Youth Agency (NYA) has now issued guidance about what this means for all youth sector activity. From 5 November Scouts and all other youth activities will move to Red readiness level. This decision by the Government means that there can be no face-to-face activity with young people or adult volunteers. Only online meetings can be delivered until further notice. We expect these restrictions to last until 2 December, when the lockdown is currently scheduled to end in England.
We are where possible running are running on-line meetings via Zoom or Teams.
Please contact one of the leaders to find out whats available.

Hi
It’s brilliant to see the place I was a scout for a few years back in the 70’s, I was in Owls under Simon Gill, and we had to sweep our patrol area of the hall. Oddly I can only recall 2 contemporaries : nick marchmont and Patrick O’brien!
Best wishes for a better year ahead.
Kind regards Pete Midgley (now in Crewe aged 60!)

Hi Pete – thanks for the comments – we were actually having a On-line meeting when the comments came in. Were the leaders David Morris / Harry Bradstone ? if so out current Scout leader is Davids sister Pauline. Do you think it would be a good thing to start a Alumni page ?
Hope you are keeping safe and well

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the quick reply, I’m not sure now about the names but one of our leaders was a very knowledgeable man who was a wheelchair user and the guy we paid subs to was I’m pretty sure called Peter too and he talked a lot.
There’s always the Facebook page or a variety of it I suppose, for instance the Christian youth organisation now called Urban Saints has a Crusaders memories page and I’ve been able to find quite a few things about decades ago and my dad’s friends on there; administration of these things is always a time commitment, isn’t it. For me the scouts was a valuable form of diverse interpersonal skills as not being narrowly based like say a church youth group you met a more representative spread of folks and engaged in other practical experiences and skills, for which I look back with gratitude.
Kind regards, Pete
