Paul has stood down due to a change in his personal circumstances and we would like to wish him well.

District Commissioner Stands Down...

It is with great sadness that we have to report that our currant District Commissioner Sue Moore has decided to stand down for her position with effect of 31st December 2009.

Sue will have been in this role for just over 16 months and in this time, Scouting in Woking has gone from strength to strength with Sue's imput, encouragement and knowledge.

Sue has said that she will remain in the District and will remain a member of the Scout Fellowship and will pass on her mountain of knowledge to her replacement.

We wish Sue well in whatever she decides to do or road she takes.

In the meantime the search is on to appoint a new District Commissioner.
