 Overall I think the Centenary Year for Scouting was a successful one for our Fellowship

 

Our aims for the coming year are:

 

  1. Further increase our membership and in particular target the parents of today’s young people. I would also encourage all Leaders and officers partners to consider SF membership

 

  1. Continue to play an active part in local scouting both as a group and as individuals as well as widen our activities to include at least one County SF event.

 

  1. Continue to increase awareness of our role with all leaders and groups in the District

 

4.  Encourage SF members to continue to wear uniform at scouting events in order   to raise our profile.
