Our
Cub group will be forced to
fold unless a new
Leader is found soon. Group Scout Leader Graham Lumley warns that
nearly 20 children will be left high and dry if a replacement is not
found for current Cub Leader David Lee. David retires in July
following 17 of voluntary service to Bures Cubs – but no-one in the
village has put their name forward to replace him.
Graham says: ‘It
may be July that David retires, but it does not take long for those
months to disappear.
We need someone
in now, so they can receive the relevant training and be ready to
start as soon as David steps down.
If will don’t
find some more volunteers then the Cub Pack will have to
close and the
effect on that will not only be felt in the entire group – but
across the whole village’.
The Scout Troop
would seriously be put to the test if the Cubs were forced to fold –
as vital stepping stone between Beavers to Cubs and Cubs to Scouts.
We have 18
Beavers with 10 more on waiting list, 18 Cubs and 23 Scouts – but if
we were to lose the Cubs, the link would be lost.
No experience in
the Scouting network is necessary - for people interested in
becoming a
Leader(s) contact: Graham Lumley on (01787)
227732 for more information. All training will be given
and you will get plenty of support from the group/district – but you
must be over 18 years of age.
