I am delighted to announce the appointment of Jan Waite as the new Area Programme Team Lead for British Scouting Overseas (BSO). Jan has been covering the role for the last few months since Howard took over as County Lead Volunteer for Lincolnshire in the summer and during that time has been working closely with the Districts and supporting with programme matters.
Jan brings a wealth of experience to the role having been involved in Scouting for many years including as an Explorer Lead, Assistant county Commissioner for Activities in Lincolnshire and having run multiple expeditions to Sweden, Denmark, Kandersteg, Explorer Belts as well as Scouts of the World Awards and the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Outside of scouting, Jan works as an Outdoor Instructor delivering DofE expeditions and residentials, multi activity residential for younger age groups, canoe and kayak coaching and expeditions and mountain training.
Jan is looking forward to the challenge of continuing to improve and widen the programme ideas and activities that we can offer to both young people and leaders, help them to grow and develop their skills.
Please join me in welcoming Jan to her new position.
Graham Eden
Area Lead Volunteer
