SUMMARY:City of York Scouts Events Team Launch
DESCRIPTION:Come along to find out how our District Events work and how you can get involved. We are amalgamating our City of York Scouts Events Team and the York Activity Support Team to form one unified City of York Scouts Events Team. By bringing together their experience\, skills and enthusiasm\, the team will be better placed to plan and support engaging events for Scouting across York.\n\nIt is hoped that the new team will meet regularly to plan events and that anyone who would like to take the lead on an event will have the opportunity to do so. This will help to share responsibility more widely\, rather than relying on the same people each time.\n\nTo launch the new team\, we are meeting in The Cabin at York Scout Activity Centre from 7.30pm. Please feel free to come along and meet the team.  At the meeting\, you will find out what we already have planned\, discuss what still needs to be organised over the next few months for Scouting in York\, and learn how you can help.  We would be delighted to see you.

SUMMARY:Archery Instructor Course
DESCRIPTION:Opportunity to gain a qualification to run Archery sessions in Scouts. This is part of revamping and enhancing activity provision at York Scout Activity Centre\, so we would like volunteers from York Scouts to join our pool of instructors.  In return City of York Scouts will cover costs of the course\, and you will be able to use our facilities and equipment at Snowball Plantation for future activities. \nYou need to attend both days 09:00-17:00. Archery Training and Assessment Nov 2026 \nThere is only capacity for 12 places which we would like to allocate fairly.  Let Scott Swinton know if would like to be on the course.  If this course is full we hope to gather demand to try organising an additional one in early 2027.  Any unused places may be offered to other Districts for a fee.  Thanks.
