May 2019 - North Yorkshire's "200 Club" Winners

Are YOU a lucky winner?

In North Yorkshire Scouts we are fortunate enough to have a lot of adult leaders who are qualified to instruct our Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts and Explorer Scouts in various outdoor activities pertaining to their age ranges.

To allow our young people to enjoy the myriad of exciting Scouting activities costs us a lot of money - joining our 200 Club is one of the ways that YOU can help us to achieve our goals

If you join our 200 Club - HALF the money you pay quarterly goes in PRIZES and the other HALF goes towards our County Scout Funds - this is a way of raising money for North Yorkshire Scouts AND allows YOU the the possible thrill of winning one of the ten prizes in our Monthly Draw - EVERY MONTH!

We DO need your help - numbers of members participating are reducing and, therefore, so is the money we can add to our County Scout Funds. PLEASE join and help if you can! 

If you are interested in finding out more about the Draw (or joining it) please contact David, our County Secretary, at the County Office NOW!

Twins, Isaac & Joseph both recognised by the Chief Scout

Two Cub Scouts given a 'CS Personal Award' for Meritorious Conduct

Isaac and Joseph Southall - Cub Scouts, 1st Holgate Scout Group (York Ebor District)

The Chief Scout has given his 'Personal Award for Meritorious Conduct' to Isaac and Joseph in recognition of their calm and focused approach on different occasions when family members encountered serious medical problems. They showed great character in all situations and used their Cub First Aid training to good effect.

In congratulating Isaac and Joseph, the Chief Scout said: “Your story is an inspiration to many and personifies all that is best about Scouting. You are a shining example and your contribution and devotion to Scouting is such an inspiration to me and many others. You should be rightly proud.”

Well done to both.....and thanks to ALL Leaders in the County who give our young members such good training!
