We’re nearly back!

Copy of email sent to all members contact 1 in Parent Portal Dear parents and carers I hope you’ve had a great summer, despite the cooler temperatures and are raring to go with the new term. We certainly are here at 11th Folkestone Scouts! I’ve got a few important updates to share with you, so here goes. Getting everyone back together safely: We’re really pleased that nearly all restrictions have been removed with regard to face to face Scouting. We’ve reviewed the risk assessment for getting everyone back together safely and can now relax some of the processes. You will no longer get an email invitation to each meeting and you will no longer need to sign up each week.

Teamwork, leadership and skills for life

We’re looking forward to welcoming new members to Scouting from September… not to mention being really excited about having all our current members back properly and all on our skills for life journey. If you’ve put your name down to join us on our Get Involved! list, we’ve recently written to you to let you know what happens next. The right section leader will be in touch towards the end of August to let you know when you can start and give parents all the details they need, so keep any eye out for that. In the meantime, have a lovely summer break and we can’t wait to meet you in September or October. Not yet registered… Get Involved Ready […]

AGM 2021

Good evening everyone. It’s our AGM on Monday 21st June at 7pm. This is an important part of our charity’s year and a legal requirement to hold within 6 months of the end of our financial year (31st December) so, for the second (and hopefully final) time we’re going to hold it online and limit it to just the business bits. It should last no longer than 20 minutes, promise! We really need you (parents!) to take part by having a look through the trustees annual report, take a peak at the finances and cast your votes for the bits that need approval or voting. You can see the report and take part here: https://www.11thfolkestonescouts.org.uk/governance/2021-annual-general-meeting/ and we’d really appreciate it […]

(Not so) Weekly update #32

Dear parents and carers I haven’t written for quite some time as I really haven’t had much to say (I know, very unusual for me!). Zoom sessions have been continuing and I’ve been really pleased to see so many young people joining in on those sessions. We’ve had a few visitors to our Zoom sessions over the past few weeks with one more visit (that I know of!) to come for the Cubs. All that said, I have some good news everyone! We’re allowed back to face to face meetings very soon. From week beginning 19th April – directly after the school Easter holiday, we’ll be back to seeing each other in person. We’ll still be limited to 15 young […]
