“The creation of York Scouts offers a unique opportunity that comes at the right time for me personally, as I have recently retired from paid work, and completed 5 years as Lead Volunteer for York Ebor District. Prior to this I was a Cub Scout Leader for over 20 years, along with Group, District and County leadership and support roles. I hope to work with our amazing volunteers to do my best to energise Scouting across York, and unlock potential to grow and deliver benefits to more young people and volunteers.”
Nigel White, District Lead Volunteer
“It is a privilege to be serve a charity that does such great things for our young people. It has been great to see first-hand the enthusiasm and passion that come from volunteers across the city – people who put in so much time, energy and devotion to create special experiences, opportunities to grow, and memories, for young people across our communities. The creation of the new City of York District presents us with a unique opportunity to do even more, and to continue to invest in and grow the York Scout Activity Centre (Snowball) as the home for City of York Scouts. We are looking forward to welcoming more young people to join our groups, as well as continuing the drive to recruit more adult volunteers, just like the great ones we have now, to help grow the movement in the city.”
