The EGM on 27th September was attended by 30 members at the Scout HQ in Hurstpierpoint. As the date clashed with a number of tower outings and weddings, the General Secretary recorded apologies from over 40 members, many of whom had commented that they were happy with the rules circulated and hoped that they would be passed.
After discussion and some minor amendments, the new set of rules was accepted
A record of the meeting follows below along with a copy of the Rules which will be circulated to towers in the end of year mailing.
The Association owes a vote of thanks to the original "Vision" team who embarked on this challenging project in March 2013 and to the team of "refiners" who worked quickly to ensure that the slightly revised rules were ready to present this Autumn.
The biggest challenge now is to see the Districts and Teams take advantage of the new rules and their increased flexibility. Please do contact any of your District Committee members to make contributions of ideas and action.
