    WOOD BADGE CENTENARY IDENTITY GUIDELINES Wood Badge Centenary logo #ShapingLeaders Today, the Wood Badge training remains as an important mechanism for shaping the leaders of the Scout Movement. To grow our Movement and empower more young people through Scouting, we need more adult volunteers to commit to our cause and support the implementation of our Vision. We should attract more volunteers, deliver relevant training, and retain them for various responsibilities, primarily to support the development and implementation of the Youth Programme. The Wood Badge Centenary artwork is an abstract representation of the Oak leaf, the leaf of the Gilwell Oak. Just as the Oak tree produces strong and evergreen leaves, the Scout Movement shapes young people into strong, adaptable, and resilient leaders. The (Gilwell) Oak symbolises the Wood Badge training, its beads, and growth of adults in Scouting.

    Celebrating 150 Years in the Heart of White Plains the Sabbatical

    SUMMER 2016 Celebrating 150 Years in the Heart of White Plains The Sabbatical Pastor’s Letter Change and the Promise of Pentecost May 2016 There is an old joke about people not liking change. The joke is that the only people who like change are toll collectors and babies with wet diapers. You can tell it’s an old joke because toll collectors have disappeared with the invention of EZ Pass. Babies still need to be changed. Change is difficult. Transitions in life can be powerful and uncomfortable moments. They are challenging even when we think we are prepared for them. They can be even more unsettling when they ambush us unaware. Henri Bergson, a French philosopher once wrote, “To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.” Change is a fact of life. Change is a consequence of our being alive. We might even say that change is a necessary condition for our growth and maturity. Yet coming to terms with all of the emotional undercurrents that go along with change is not always easy for us. Putting a little one on a school bus for the first time can bring a parent to tears. Seeing your child attend his or her first prom makes you wonder where the time has flown. Retiring after years of productive and fulfilling work can bring unexpected feelings of vulnerability and emptiness. Although change is constant and inevitable we can still feel insecure and anxious about the uncertainty that change brings. Until my retirement in 2013, I served as the Canon for Deployment and Transition Ministry in the Episcopal Diocese of New York.

    A Fellowship That Keeps Scouting at Gilwell Park Alive for Future Generations Welcome to the Fellowship

    A fellowship that keeps Scouting at Gilwell Park alive for future generations Welcome to the fellowship The Gilwell Fellowship aims to support the continuing development of Gilwell Park for future generations, and to educate everyone about Scouting’s heritage and impact. Gilwell Park is the spiritual home of Scouting, the biggest youth movement the world has ever seen. It embodies Baden-Powell’s dream of a home for all Scouts and a dedicated training centre for adults, and continues to evolve and develop while preserving this legacy. Gilwell Fellows The Gilwell Fellows are a group of supporters who care passionately about Gilwell Park and contribute to ensure it continues to develop for future generations.. Any support you’re able to provide ensures that Scouts continue to learn practical skills for life, while also developing lasting friendships and having unforgettable outdoor adventures. The Young Gilwell Fellows programme is for Scouts and supporters of Gilwell Park under the age of 30 who wish to be part of the Fellowship. They’re invited to participate in the existing programme and support fundraising ideas using social media and their own networks. ‘Over the last 15 years, Gilwell Park has been transformed into an excellent centre for Scouts and all young people. It has managed to balance respect for the unique place it holds in Scouting’s history with the need to be relevant, modern and viable. I’m very proud to have played a small part in this transformation and I want to see it continue in the future so even more young people can experience the adventure of Scouting.’ Steve Peck, Gilwell Fellow What the Gilwell Development Fund enables us to create Our International Volunteer Lodge provides 45 state-of-the-art rooms for our volunteer staff from all over the world.
