In my role as Assistant County Commissioner for Scouts and as part of the Greater London Scout Scouts County Team, we have to ensure we support Scout districts and last night, we took the we.TALK to Lewisham Scout District. It was a great night and the CEO of Smile International, Clive Doubleday, was there and he gave a talk on the work the charity is doing and the ways in which people can contribute and help. They really are doing some amazing work.
The District Commissioner for Lewisham, Chris Ellinson, then took over and gave, what I believe, to be a very informative and inspirational talk to the District. All district teams members were given a chance to contribute . It was really great to see Chris involving everyone from his district and ensuring everyone had a say.
It was then the turn of County Team, so, in their new bright Orange polo shirts emblazoned with the GLS logo, we mingled with the various members of the District and were able to answer many questions and ensure we were there to support them whenever and wherever we’re required.
A great night all in all.
