Our President, HM Lord HM Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire Nigel Atkinson Esq, recently shared a message of congratulations and celebration for our volunteers and staff's hard work in our mission to bounce back.
I wanted to write to Hampshire Scouts having seen the splendid results reported following the completion of the most recent Census published last month.
Clearly the work undertaken by all volunteers and staff, including leaders across the county, the Commissioners, and those in the county office under operation ‘Bounce Back’ following the ‘Covid era’ proved successful. It gives me enormous pleasure to see how in most areas our numbers have risen and long may that continue across our County.
So, many congratulations and thank you for all you do for Hampshire Scouts to ensure we give better Scouting and opportunities to the young people of Hampshire.
With best wishes.
Nigel Atkinson
HM Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire
President Hampshire Scouts.
