Gone Home: Ruth Marienfeld

Gone Home


It is with great sadness that we have to share with you the deeply sad news that after a short illness Ruth Marienfeld, DC for Southern Europe, has passed away.


Although Ruth had only recently joined BSO, in this short time she had made a greatly positive impact as Deputy DC, then latterly District Commissioner for Southern Europe, supporting adults and young people in accessing opportunities and adventure.



Our thoughts are with Ruth's family during this difficult time.

The units represent each of the UK’s counties and countries/regions, with unit numbers be allocated based on the numbers of young people in each area.
