Fortunately for me I have enjoyed the tutelage of Richard Cast over the last three years as his Vice Chairman and hopefully this will leave me well prepared for the task ahead. We are lucky in Kent to have a well versed and committed County team able and willing to provide constructive support to our many and varied Branches. I am pleased to welcome some newcomers to the team in Jonathan Webb our Vice Chairman and Lisa Wolfe. Both have a wide range of skills and experience to bring with them that will help us all. I mentioned events in this Centenary year of 2018 to mark the end of hostilities with Germany in World War I and some are quite pressing for us to finalise even though it is early in the year. Predominant in these is GP90 and somehow I feel many of you may not realise this is not so much about the Branch but about the Community around it.

    KENT AND MEDWAY ENERGY AND LOW EMISSIONS STRATEGY Public Consultation Report November 2019 Sustainable Business and Communities Team, Kent County Council www.kent.gov.uk/environmentstrategy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to the ambitious levels of growth planned for the county and considering the growing environmental risks posed by air pollution and climate change, Kent and Medway Chief Executives and Leaders endorsed the need for a dedicated Kent and Medway Energy and Low Emissions Strategy in November 2017. The development of the strategy, which sits within the framework of the Kent Environment Strategy, has been led by Kent County Council in close association with Medway Council, Kent district and borough councils and other key partners. Following a year of evidence gathering and dedicated cross-sector engagement and informal consultation, the draft strategy was open for public consultation between 2 July and 23 September 2019. The consultation was promoted through press releases and social media, targeted emails and promotion at meetings, events and in public buildings. The consultation documents were available online at www.kent.gov.uk/energyandlowemissionsconsultation. A total of 365 responses were received; 288 from people responding in an individual capacity, 18 responding in a professional capacity, and 57 responding on behalf of public, private and voluntary organisations; including 10 local authorities. Most respondents agreed (either “strongly agree” or “tend to agree”), with the draft strategy’s vision and the priorities identified for each theme; with agreement ranging from 64% to 75% of respondents. Between 73% and 83% of respondents also agreed with the challenges identified in the draft strategy.

  • Ide Hill Pack Achieve What England Couldn't Just Manage
    SEVENOAKS SCOUTING NEWSLINK JUNE 2010 Ide Hill Pack Achieve What England Couldn’t Just Manage.. WIN! The Ide Hill (Tuesday) Pack Have brought the County Challenge Trophy back to Sevenoaks for the first time since the event started. Emily Cunnington a Ide Hill cub reports; Earlier this year, a team of four from Ide Hill 16th Tuesday Pack went to the district challenge quiz and came 1st. This meant we went on to the County Challenge. Here there were the winners and runners up (I think) of each district around the county. During the course of the day we went around and did lots of different activities, 30 of them in all. Like map reading, car driving, fire lighting, obstacle courses, flags, puzzles and morse code. We got scores from how well we did in each of these, the highest score was 30. At the end of the day all of these scores were added up from each activity. There was a very nice trophy with James Bond in it for the winners. Incredibly, the overall winners were…. (editors note; BIG BUILD UP ) US !!!!!!!!! We won some shiny gold medals just like in the Olympics, and some very tasty rock that said Kent Cubs 2010 on it and finally the trophy. Hooray!!! The Event had 27 teams and Sevenoaks were represented by the 16th Ide Hill and the 10th Weald packs . Weald put in an excellent performance and came 12th. To top of the brilliant results Sevenoaks also got a mention about how helpful our leaders and parents were at the event.
