Regional Commissioner’s Report I visited our Regions Cuboree held at Morisset showground on 10th September. There were 600+ cubs Scouts, leaders and adult helpers in attendance. The weather was excellent as well as the venue. It was as always; great to see smiling faces of our youth members as they were having fun at the activity bases. Congratulations to all concerned on a successful event. Preparation is now well advanced for the State Cuboree to be held at Cataract Scout Park in January to celebrate 100 years of Cub Scouting. Please make the effort to attend with your respective youth members. I mentioned in my September Bulletin article that our new Chief Commissioner Mr Neville Tomkins OAM has made membership growth and retention one of his high priorities. I have to say at the time of me writing this article on 16/9/16 our membership in the past twelve months has increased approximately 5 – 6%. Congratulations to all who have worked tirelessly to achieve this encouraging result. Most groups are reasonably on target to achieve their membership target by April 2017 but as always, retention is our biggest challenge. We seem to be fantastic at recruitment but let’s just say, in some areas, struggle in retention. Of particular concern is that NSW along has dropped 15% in Adult Leadership in the last 12 months and 33% decrease in the last 6 years. I have used this space numerous times to talk up recruitment of leaders. There is nothing magic about recruitment. Although I only wrote this “piece” this year on recruitment, I think it is work repeating again.

“Recruitment of Leaders” There are 600 plus leaders in the H & C Region and 4000 odd in NSW. Ask any one of these men and women why the challenge was accepted and you will be given a reason or a set of reasons. Some would seek to explain their involvement in Scouting in abstract terms such as sense of duty while others would advance highly specific and personal reasons. We might predict however, a fairly common answer would be “somebody asked me”. A person has to overcome a considerable amount of self-consciousness before they can approach an organisation and enquire about lending a hand. If they receive an invitation though, it is a different story. There is no longer any fear of rebuff nor any need to think up an elaborate explanation for their interest. They have been made feel wanted because they have received an invitation from a member. There are very good reasons why we cannot launch an “open invitation” campaign directed indiscriminately at the entire adult population. On the other hand there is the danger of hiding our light ‘under a bushel’ and bypassing potential Scouters by our exclusiveness.

Regional Commissioner’s Report continues Many people in this Region where there are thousands of adults are just waiting to be asked. I am sure everyone could name acquaintances who they have seriously considered as prospective leaders. Unfortunately and too often certainly in this Region, the first step is not taken until there is the impetus of a crisis; the group is floundering and somebody is urgently needed for its rescue and resuscitation. This is not a problem to be shelved until time is beginning to run out but it’s a task to be faced by every leader. Who was the last person you asked? Think about it. Recruitment must be on the top of all our agendas permanently.” I have also on recent DC and RC Agendas included an agenda item I call “sharp Ideas”. How can we improve Scouting to all and sundry? How can we bring more youth in and retain them and of course the same for leaders? Why are some groups growing and some are not? I would be very interested as always, hearing about your success stories. I am also interested in the challenges you may be facing and help you if you require or indeed think you should be getting help. If you feel you have been “let down” by others, I would be happy to know how I can help. Please advise. Also please do not hesitate to share your Scouting experiences, positive or negative with me anytime via the Region Office. I and my teams are not only here to listen but act to the best of our ability and resources.

The training team are fired up and are working tirelessly to reduce these numbers. If you are on this list, you will get a phone call and email for Helen Buckley Regional Advisors for eLearning, you should also have been contact by your DC and also your PLA. We will be leaving no stone unturned. Our mission is to have ALL TRAINEE Leaders complete their training with 12 months. If this is not possible for any reason, please contact me, so I can approve an extension. Extensions are only possible after contact has been made.

It is recommended that leaders do not participate in games with youth members. I understand that there are leaders who do not see it.as a problem. Believe me it can be. Leaders should supervise not participate. You may get away with it but sooner or later it will happen. Don’t think it can’t happen to you. It can.

Joey Scout Report What a month it has been, it’s great to see such inspiring stories coming out of your mobs and from around Australia. There’s quite a bit to update you on this month, we have a YPR update, our new Chief Commissioner Neville Tomkins presented his vision for Scouts NSW, Joey Practices across the state were discussed, State Konara is progressing, as well as various regional items. Firstly, to the YPR’s latest article this presents a very different Joey mob from the “traditional” mob in our Region. The Macarthur Joey Mob Leader noticed a trend when he became the Joey leader that his Joeys disliked craft. Numbers were dwindling and by accident when on an outing with his joeys he stumbled upon a winning solution for this mob. They ditched the weekly meeting and moved towards a fortnightly outing and incorporated all the aspects of Joeys into the outings. I would encourage some of our struggling mobs to branch out and try this approach; there is nothing in Scouting policy that limits the frequency or duration of events in any section. I would encourage everyone to read more into this as I think it shows how the continual evolution of scouting will progresses us into a stronger movement. http:// ypr.scouts.com.au/news/2016-09-16-act-joey-mob-rethinking-programming If you would like to trial developing a similar program get in contact and we can work through it. The YPR is continually reviewing to ensure that scouting remains contemporary for modern Australia. By looking at how to scouting is being delivered, provides us insights on how scouting can look in the future. At the Septembers Commissioners Conference, Neville Tomkins presented his vision for scouting in the future. 7 key areas were identified support the scouting movement into the future. The presentation left me inspired and motivated towards how as organization we will operate, and increase our competitiveness in the vast number of choices for extracurricular activities that are presented to children these days. Neville presented a number of concepts in regards to organization operation. It would be great to see all of these changes are implemented, with the desired effect improving the ease of scouting for volunteers. A progress and innovation committee will examine aspects of scouting to produce a substantial reduction of the administrative burdens of scouting, with the desire to streamline and simplify so that we can spend more time scouting and less time paper pushing. One of the items discussed at the State Joey meeting and also by Neville was the need for the growth of scouting membership. A significant opportunity of growth that is being examined is the inclusion of school ready youth within our section. Ie if they child is 5 or older and at school then they can join Joeys. I will update all joey and group leaders directly if the age bracket of our section is modified however keep your eyes peeled for more information. Feedback has also been flowing in regarding the Commissioner’s Challenge badge for Joeys. Mobs across the state love it, if you would like to get involved talk to your district joey scout leader. You can stay up to date regarding all joey badge work at the following link: http://scoutreach.org.au/resources/joeys/joey-challenges/

Joey Scout Report continues State Konara is shaping up to be the premier Joey leader event across NSW in 2017.Thanks to your feedback; we know what you would like us to cover, thanks to all those who completed the surveys that were sent out. Please save the date May 27/28 2017. The location will be Glenfield scout center, start talking to your group leaders regarding budgeting for you to attend as your groups should be paying. Also due to the distance please talk to other leaders regarding carpooling and ridesharing to make the weekend more enjoyable. Upon the opening of registration all Joey leaders will be notified by email so please make sure your email address is correct in scout link. Final a little closer to home, within the region I was delighted to see a Joey from 1st Woy Woy Sea Scouts representing both the section and region and the Chief Commissioners reaffirmation over the weekend in Sydney. The Joeys did a wonderful job presenting the scarf and woggle to the Chief Commissioner. I would like to apologise for not having next year’s regional joey calendar ready for distribution this month it will be out next month with the details for all the exciting activities coming up next year. As always please attend your district Wandarrah and events, as the planning and coordination is best when everyone is at the meeting. As always if you would like to discuss anything or need assistance let me know, let’s work together to grow joeys for the benefit of scouting. Until Next month,

The winning team is the patrol that has matched the most symbols and desciptions. www.scoutreach.org.au
