Welcome Steve, new Area Transformation Lead

October 11, 2023

I'm pleased to share with you the appointment of Steve Sutton as our Area Transformation Lead.  Steve will be well known to a great many across BSO from his time as District Commissioner for Middle East and involvement in Scouting in Bahrain as well as other roles at District and Area levels.


Steve says, Scouting has been a key part of my life having been a member since 1971. Along my Scouting journey highlights have included the achievement of the Queens Scout Award and the award of an Explorer Belt and having the chance to attend a number of World Jamboree's


For the last 20 years my Scouting has been outside of the UK, living in the Middle East and taking various roles with BSO and Scouts BSA


I love walking, power boating and outdoor activities in general and I volunteer with a number of organizations and charities both Scouting and non Scouting related.


I am happy to be rejoining the BSO Area Team and to take on the role to lead the delivery of the new Transformation strategy

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.
