To all the Adult Volunteers in Scouting in Berkshire who enrich so many young lives, every day and every week, it is a big thank from Peter Duncan the Chief Scout.
You may have spotted the new header for the weekly email news - 'News from Berkshire Scouting'. This is part of the new communications policy developed through the Plan for the County. The new format weekly news will continue to arrive in your inbox every week. Watch out for the new 'Berkshire Scouting in Action' - arriving soon with comprehensive reports on the great Scouting taking place across Berkshire. There are now several hundred signed up for 'News from Berkshire Scouting', get the rest of your District/Group/Unit/Team signed up now so they dont miss out on either the News or Berkshire Scouting in Action.
The RK Fund was established in memory of the Roger King, a former County Commissioner, County Chairman and County Secretary. The Fund is to assist individuals to take part in International Scouting experiences outside of the UK for who, for financial reasons, might otherwise find it difficult to be involved in or be excluded from this important aspect of Scouting.
