Saturday evening saw 12 young members volunteering at the annual Rotary club fireworks display in Barking park, giving up their time for their community.

On Sunday 16 Columbus Explorers attended the Barking and Dagenham remembrance service, Along with 100 other Beavers, cubs, scouts and adult leaders, where the District Commissioner laid a commemorative wreath at the memorial on behalf of the District. The Explorers then paraded through the town centre and attended a service of remembrance at St Margaret's church in Barking Abbey

Can you lead? Could you shape the youth strategy in Barking and Dagenham District Scouts? We're looking for a District Youth Commissioner (aged 18-25) to shape the direction of Scouting across our District.

Huge thanks to all of you who participated in our survey. We asked you which Hearing Dog to sponsor. We're very pleased to announce that Honey was your choice and we are delighted as we send her on her training journey.

We are going to keep you all informed as we receive “Pup Dates” from her at regular intervals.

We also have envelopes and boxes available should you want to continue the support for Hearing Dogs for the Deaf by collecting old stamps.

If you would an envelope or box please contact: Angie Wellington - District Treasurer, who will be happy to supply them.

Thanks again for all your support as this is really going to make a difference to a Deaf Person's Life.

Have you every thought about helping with the 14-18 age range. We are currently looking for helpers, and leaders to work with our Explorers. This is a key section, where many of our future leaders will be coming from.

We also have a Young Leader scheme which we would like to develop within the District, and of course this all ties in with the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. So if your are interested, please let me know.
