Hello parents and guardians,
It’s great to see that all of the returning young people have settled back in to their Scouting and Guiding, and a warm welcome to the new young people who have joined to start their Scouting and Guiding journey.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Alister, and I am the Chairperson Scout and Guide Hut building Committee. September was the start of my 7th year as Chairperson, which will be my last. As such we are on the lookout for new people to join the committee and for somebody who would like to take over my role when I stand down next September.
Without a working committee we don’t have a working building and fundamentally the closure and loss of this great facility.
The role and working with the committee are immensely rewarding, making sure that our young people have the best facility possible to partake in their chosen Scouting and Guiding activities. Being able to give something back to the Hilton community and continuing to make Hilton a great place to live is a really great feeling.
The committee has full ownership of the building, its facilities, maintenance, finance, external hiring and working closely with our Scouting and Guiding sections. of time commitment it’s fairly low across the year at just 6 meetings & 1 AGM in 12 months. With the building extension completed last year the committee is in a very stable place and looking for new input as to what could be done next to make the place better still.
If this is something that you could be interested in please get in touch with myself at alister@poulter.com
Thank you for reading
Regards
Alister Poulter
