New Leaders for Maple Beavers

Report Date 14/09/15

During the period leading up to the Summer Holidays, I was very sad to learn that both Helen Pickles and Tony Jeacock would have to step down from Maple Beavers due to personal reasons.

Whilst I hope this only a temporary escape for them, it did mean that the search was on for a new team.

I am pleased that Maple Beaver Colony will continue under the new leadership of Kerry Rogers who only moved onto Hayling a couple of weeks ago, Jen Ford and with Jean Bates moving across from Aspen Beavers to bring some experience. In addition Megan Hick will transfer from Jupiter Pack to join the new team as a Young Leader.

Elle Pickles who has a specific role of helping one of the Beavers in Maple will continue in her role to provide continuity.

Thank you to Kerry, Jen for volunteering to join the wider Hayling ladership team, and to Jean and Megan for offering to move across and to Elle for continuing to assist with Felix in order that we can maintain this thriving colony.

To Helen and Tony, thank you for all you have done over the past 4 years to bring the excitement and adventure of Scouting to a number of young children on Hayling. You have achieved a lot and we would really love to see your involvement again in the future.
