NORTH WEST NEWS

Greater London North West County Scout Information Bulletin

COUNTY SECRETARY

Headquarters have announced the change of name from ”The Boy Scouts Association” to ”The Scout Association ”.

At the Annual General Meeting of the County Scout Council held on 28th June, 1967. it was formally resolved that the new Rules, approved by the Committee of the Council, be adopted.

The new Rules give rise to changes in the method of appointment of the County Executive Committee, the ex-officio members of which will now consist only of the County Chair- man, the County Commissioner, the County Treasurer and the County Secretary. The County Scout Council has appointed five lay members (with one vacancy still to be filled) and six holders of Leader warrants. These will be augmented by the County Commissioner exercising, in consultation with the County Chairman, his powers of nomination under the new Rules. Full details of the new County Executive Committee will be published in a later edition of the Bulletin but, in the mean- time, we extend a warm welcome to two newly elected lay members, viz., Mr. V. W. Pi. Markham, County Chairman of the B.-P. Scout Guild, and Mr. H. Birch, one of our Honorary Commissioners.

The County Commissioner has appointed Rev. M. J. Eyden, until recently D.C. for Harrow and Wealdstone, an Honorary Commissioner.

The County Chairman has announced his intention of attending the Conference of County Commissioners, County Chairmen, County Secretaries and County Treasurers to be held in September. He hopes that it will be possible to have a discussion with District Chairmen as soon as possible thereafter.

The attention of Cub Scout Leaders is drawn to the requirement that no Cub Scout under the age of 9-,’ may be taken on a Cub Camp or Holiday without the specific permission of the D.C. (POR 341A(5) ). It would be helpful if D.C.s granting such permission would make a note on the camping form, when approving the holding of the Pack holiday or camp.

12th WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE, 1967

Our members of the Jamboree contingent will be leaving for Idaho at the end of July.

Final applications for inclusion totalled 45, which meant that we were able to supply a complete Jamboree Troop of 33 Scouts, consisting of four patrols plus a Senior Patrol Leader, accompanied by four Scout Leaders. The remaining 12, in combination with Surrey and Greater London Central, formed a second Jamboree Troop, and are accompanied by one Scout Leader from this County.

The County Commissioner decided that No. 6 Troop should consist of Scouts from Groups in the Boroughs of Brent and Harrow (making up the exact 33 required), while those from our southerly Boroughs should combine with our neighbours across the river.

No. 6 Jamboree Troop will be led by the County Commissioner personally, assisted by Bernard Neill (A.D.C. Stanmore) and Brian Jones (G.S.L., 1st Harrow Weald), the last-named having special responsibility for publicity liaison. Brian Shephard (A.D.C. Scouts Ealing and Hanwell) will be our Assistant Scout Leader in the No. 21 Jamboree Troop. Martin Turner, of 28th Willesden Group, has been appointed Senior Patrol Leader of the No. 6 Jamboree Troop.

No. 6 Jamboree Troop will spend their period of home hospitality in San Francisco, Cal., while No. 21 Troop will be in Richmond, Va. At the moment the addresses are not known and

it is suggested that District Information Officers or District Editors who would like to have first-hand news of their District representatives should keep in touch with the Scouts concerned, to whom information on matters of detail is being given direct. The actual Jamboree address will be (until 6th August):

U.K. Troop No. 6 (or U.K. Troop No. 21), Sub-Camp Moisson (Sub-Camp Vogelenzang), XII World Jamboree, Farragut State Park, Bayview, Idaho, 83803, U.S.A.
