WSJ Wild Ones Update

May 30, 2023

Unit 1 – “The Wild Ones” preparations continue under the able leadership of Shelly Burrows, Brooke Lowe, Zoe Baxter and Lynn Millard. Last weekend the leadership team attended the all-adult team meeting at Gilwell Park where they attended many sessions and workshops around what to expect at the WSJ, including Korean culture, travel arrangements, sustainability and mental health. There was even time for some fun and games in the evening.  


During the weekend, the team met up with the UK Chief Commissioner, Carl Hankinson: 

Additionally, Carl was able to present Zoe with a Commissioner’s Commendation award, for the work she did during the Operation Feather, HM the late Queen’s lying-in-state. Congratulations and thank you Zoe!


It was a great pleasure to see eleven members of the Northern Europe WSJ participants, including Lynn Millard, attending the N. Europe District Camp a couple of weeks ago. These members of Unit 1 were able to continue bonding and making friends with each other prior to the WSJ.
