We are on the look for a new District Commissioner / District Lead Volunteer
Your District Commissioner, Henson Appleby, is standing down. I would like to thank Henson for the work he has put into the role during this time and to start the process of finding a successor.
Scouting is a Movement and as such we should move with the times; to this end we might consider splitting the District Commissioner/District Lead Volunteer responsibilities between a number of DCs/DLVs (Team DC/District Lead Volunteer Team).
Your District might be better served by having several DC/DLV each with a specific remit; or it may be best to keep to one DC/DLV.
Whichever approach is taken, the first stage is to generate a list of people who may have the qualities to fill the position(s).
The choice of successful candidate(s) will be based on ability to lead, listen, relate to young and older members alike, and a real enthusiasm to move Scouting forward. Age, gender, ethnicity and years of Scouting service will not be taken into consideration. To prevent the building up of false hopes, please submit nominations without approaching the individual concerned.
You can personally contribute to this search in the following ways:
Circulate this request for nominations to all adults involved in Scouting within your area of responsibility. This may be verbally, by mail, via a newsletter or email. We will email the nomination form to those of you we have an email addresses for but please contact Alison in the County Office – support@kentscouts.org.uk if you haven’t received one and would like one.

Thank you in anticipation of your support.
