NEW BEAVER SCOUT A.D.C. APPOINTED.

After a long period without someone in this appointment, it is great to be able to
announce that Louisa Biggs has agreed to take on this role as from the 3rd June.
Welcome to Central Notts, Louisa.
Louisa has already written to Beaver Scout Leaders, and part of that letter is reproduced below
Just want to introduce myself to you all and what's my background in scouting is. My name is
Louisa (Lou) will answer to pretty much any thing???? I've been a cub leader for 12 years and have been
running the pack as Akela for the past 5 years. Heavily involved in the Nottingham gang show from the
age of 16...I'm now part of the production team. Have done many camps, sleepovers and international
camps to Denmark, Norway and Belgium. I have a family, two young boys aged 7 and 5, I am a part time
Teaching Assistant, help to run our own family business with my husband which iincliudes doing lots of
scouting and guiding events with inflatables.
Louisa can be contacted at: lou.biggs@ntlworld.com
 The District programme for
2010/2011 will be pulled to-
gether over the summer holiday.
Explorers Scouts and Leaders are asked to for-
ward any District programme ideas they would
like to see happen to Steve Tupper before the
summer break.
Also—In light of the interest shown with the
County Kandersteg trip,as well as some per-
sonal commitments (Wedding!), Steven is sug-
gesting that the Gold D of E final expedition is
pulled forward by a couple of days in the sum-
mer of 2010, Tthis will leave sufficient time be-
tween activities.
The final expedition dates will now run from
21st July - 26th July.
The slight change in dates will mean that
Explorers / Network members may need to take
2 days off school, depending on inset days.
Due to the exam period for most of the Explor-
ers and Network members it is not envisaged
that this will be a problem.

Entry forms for this Swimming Gala have been sent out to units.
If you are interested and have not received one, then contact:

In August 1982—to celebrate the 75th anniversary of

Scouting, the Nottinghamshire Scouts carried an illumi-
nated scroll around the County.
On Monday 8th August, Central Notts. set up a display
area on the banks of the River Trent at Gunthorpe, with
displays of Canoeing, Camping, Pioneering, Cub Scout
activities and a display by the 2nd Arnold Scout and
Guide Band.
At 7.00pm that day, members of South East Notts. car-
riied the scroll from their District and handed it over to us.
The next day—Tuesday 10th August—teams of walkers
carried the scroll around Central Notts. Gunthorpe, Burton
Joyce (where we were met by the Mayor of Gedling),
Lambley, Woodborough, Epperstone, Halloughton,
Southwell (Met by the Chairman of Newark District Coun-
cil). At both Burton Joyce and Southwell the scroll was
signed by the civic leaders.
From Southwell the walkers went to the banks of the
River Trent opposite Farndon. Here we were met by the
Farndon Sea Scouts. The scroll was handed over to
them, and they rowed it back across the Trent to Newark
District ready for the next day
In each district the scroll was signed by a Civic Leader,
and where we touched onto an adjoining County, the rele-
vant County Commissioner
Here memory fails me. I do believe that the scroll was then handed over to Headquarters for entry into the
archives—but I am sure there is someone out there who will enlighten us.

DID YOU KNOW - At the closing ceremony of the 1st World Jamboree
held at Olympia in 1920 - B-P gave the parting message. It is as full of
meaning today as it was on that historic occasion. Here is an extract:
“Brother Scouts. Differences exist between the peoples of the world in thought
and sentiment, just as they do in language and physique.
The Jamboree has taught us that if we exercise mutual forbearance and give and take, then
there is sympathy and harmony
If it be your will, let us go forth fully determined that we will develop among ourselves and
our boys that comradeship, through the world wide spirit of the Scout brotherhood, so that
we may help to develop peace and happiness in the world and goodwill among men”.

There will be no edition of Scoutlook in August. Please sent any items for inclusion in the
eptember edition to The Editor by 20th August. Any photos, posters, charts etc. should be sent
as attachments and not embedded in the text.
