With the summer past i have time to reflect on what i have been up to in August.
The month started off with me attending the Auchengillan Jamboree with East Region Explorer Scouts from the 1st - 8th August.
On the 16th August while i was doing activities at Fordell i discovered that the 41st Cubs were camping there for a few days.
I did a climbing session for them and also spent some time on their camp site.
If anyone is going camping please drop me Either an E-mail or the nights away form that is suppose to be handed in to the DC and i will try and pay them a visit.
Over the month i have had several meetings with the 46th leaders regarding the transfer of the 28th hall and assets.

The Scottish Council
The Scottish Board plays a vital role in relation.
To policy and management of The Scout Association in Scotland.
It relies particularly on the input from elected members representing the membership as a whole from across Scotland.
I would encourage you to take the opportunity to ensure that the elected member representation on the Board remains strong and reflects the make up and geographical spread of Scouting in Scotland.
Nominations for elected places on the Scottish Board require to be made by six individual members of the Association, of whom at least one is also a member of the Scottish Council. There are four places for election serving for a 3-year term to the AGM in 2012.
Not more than three elected members holding a Scout appointment in any Region, and not more than one from any District within that Region can serve on the Scottish Board. Currently nominations can be accepted from within all Regions, but nominees holding appointments in the following Districts (who have serving members) are not eligible for appointment - Dundee;Perth & Kinross, Midlothian and Greenock.
Youth Member
There is a vacancy arising for the positon of elected youth member. Nominees must be either members of the SSNC or appointed as District Youth Representative members of the Scottish Council. They may serve for a period of up to 3 years, retiring in the year of their 25th birthday. The process of nomination is the same as for elected members and a separate nomination form is enclosed.

As well as Members of Council, an opportunity to pose questions to me, the Chairman and Chief Executive in a "Question Time" style meeting.
