Making Music
Are YOU interested?
This from John Ives, Our A.C.C. (Creative Activities):
We are looking to organise a Making Music day on 1 March 2020 for any young people in the Scout and Guide Counties who can play any instrument. The young people will be invited to express an interest in the event giving details of the instrument they play and the level they have currently achieved. The intention would be to work with them and then put together a short performance at the end of the day. Hopefully from this day other events might develop.
In preparation for this we need to assemble a group of adults and Young Leaders who have musical experience. If you are interested and would like to discuss this further please get in touch.

UK Scouting Membership Fees 2020 announced
Info about County Membership Fees for 2020 to follow soon...
Gilwell have announced that the UK membership fee for next year will be £29 per youth member under the age of 18. As usual, there will be a 50p discount per member for prompt payment.
In doing so, they advise us: "We have kept the £1 increase to the fee as low as possible by making extra income from other activities. Fundraising and corporate partnerships help us to keep fees down, as well as our commercial activities, which range from providing conference facilities and Scout Adventure Centres to our Scout Store and Unity Insurance. This allows us to keep investing in safeguarding our members, supporting our volunteers and developing tools and resources that help give young people skills for life."
The North Yorkshire County Scout Membership Fee for 2020 will be agreed at the Scout County Executive Committee Meeting on 17 September 2019.
District Commissioners will then be advised of the 2020 membership fees and the County deadlines for payment, so that 2020 total fees can be considered by District Executive Committees.
Advanced notice ALWAYS helps us to plan ahead!

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme has announced that from 1 September 2019 the way new participants receive their Welcome Packs will change. Whilst the registration process remains the same, our young members will now receive newly updated Welcome Packs directly to their homes when they register their address on eDofE.
No Welcome Packs will be despatched from the County Office after that date.
The current registration form for all levels of the Award can be downloaded from the County website. https://nys.org.uk/index.php/help-and-support/county-policies-and-guidance. (Look in the Activities section)
Please let everyone concerned know of this change!
