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 26th World Scout Jamboree will take place in Gdansk, Poland in the summer of 2027. The UK Scout Association has a long history of sending large number of Units (36 young people, aged between 14 and 18, and four leaders divided into four patrols) as part of a UK Contingent to attend World Scout Jamborees. 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.
The Scout Association in the United Kingdom offers a series of Good Service Awards to recognize adult volunteers who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and service.
