I'm really pleased to confirm that Jean Marshall and Ben Powesland will be joining us as our two new Regional Development Officers in the region.
Jean is a Beaver Scout Leader in Brunel district (Avon). Ben has a variety of roles with Mid Cornwall district centred around St. Austell. Both of them have many skills which Gordon and I feel will enhance the team along with Debbie's skills and years of experience.
We are a regional team so all of us will support the patch as directed by our work plan that Debbie, Gordon and I are working on at present. Any further development projects that should be added to the growing list would be much appreciated.
Jean and Ben start officially on Monday 9th June. After a week long basic induction at Gilwell, the main part of the induction will be field based shadowing Debbie and I to as much as possible. I should be able to share the full contact details for the whole team as soon as we can confirm telephone numbers.
As a full South West regional team, we look forward to working and supporting the region in developing Scouting.
