I started my Scouting journey at 18, having never been in Scouting before I had a lot to learn. Over the last 15 years I have learnt many skills and have helped other adults along the way. I have been a Section Leader at various groups supporting where needed. With my experience, I now help to organise and run District Scout events. My favourite parts of Scouting are camping and watching the young people achieve new goals.

I joined Scouting as a Beaver when I was 6 and have remained in the movement ever since. Coming up through the sections, to a young leader and then Assistant Scout Leader I was given the confidence to grow as an individual. Scouting has helped me through my work and personal lives, and now I want to help give back and support more young people with the support I was given.

I started my Scouting adventure in 1977 as a Cub. I went through the movement helping in all sections to later become a Scout Leader, Cub leader, Beaver Leader and Venture Scout Leader, and I still enjoy it!

I joined Beavers when I was 6 years old and all the way through to Explorers. I then moved to Bournemouth when I was 16 and joined the 10th a few years later. I originally joined to carry out the volunteering section of my Gold DofE, which has now led me to be apart of the group for over 4 years. It’s great as a leader as you get to do all the Scout activities, but as an adult!

Following in by brother's footstep as a Cub in the 80's where my mum was Akela. I progressed through Scouts and Ventures before running off to Uni. Having amazing memories of camps, fun and skills, with 2 boys of my own, I was keen to ensure I got involved to help give others the opportunities I had, be part of a local family, a worldwide community and to relive my childhood.

I started my Scouting journey in Cubs, and progressed through the sections to become the Scout section leader at the age of 18. Since then I have moved into support roles as AGSL and now GSL of the 10th. I oversee all of the sections and the leadership team, and make sure they have all the tools they need to deliver a fantastic programme of activities all year round.
I started Scouting as a Beaver in 2007 and over the years I have dipped in and out but it has always managed to pull me back in... and I wouldn't have it any other way!
