District Implementation of InTouch System
Following a comprehensive review and six months of trials, InTouch was launched to replace the Home Contact System in November 2009.It will be implemented locally in each District (and County for County based units such as Networks and County Scout Active Support Units) between November 2009 and 1 September 2010.
At the recent GSLs meeting, it was requested that a specific meeting be planned to discuss the implementation of the system in our District - this will take place at 8.15pm on Thursday 11th March at the District HQ.
For more information on the InTouch scheme, please visit www.scouts.org.uk/intouch, or download the InTouch Presentation - which includes comprehensive notes.

Lochearnhead 2010 - Price reduced, places still available
What is Lochearnhead 2010?
Hertfordshire Scouts own a converted station at Lochearnhead in Scotland. In the heart of the highlands it is a great place to enjoy the outdoors and discover new adventures. Hemel Hempstead Scouts have a week long expedition in August 2010 and would love you to attend. So if you are a Scout aged 12 and over at the time of the trip, an Explorer Scout or Network member fill in the application form today.
As the event is now drawing near we need to finalise numbers and start making preparations. I urge you to consider attendance as this will be the main Explorer activity of the year. I know a number of you are holding off waiting to see who else is attending why not become the trend setter and put your name down for the others to follow your lead.
The cost of the Trip has been reduced to £245.
What will we do when we get there?
As we are only going for 1 week, it will be difficult to fit everything in that we traditionally do. Therefore we would like you to tell us which of the activities below you would like to take part in as a three day specialist activity. On the other days, we will timetable other adventurous activities, so that you get to try most other things going on. Please complete the attached form to indicate your preferences
During the trip everyone will be required to help with duties including prepare meals, cleaning the Station, cleaning the toilets and washing facilities. These will be divided out between the participants.

Announcement of WSJ 2011 participants
Hemel Hempstead District Scouts are pleased to announce that the following young people have been selected to attend the Jamboree in Sweden in 2011 as part of the Hertfordshire contingent:Charlie Gower, Snooks ESU
Jacob Pass, 1st Leverstock Green
James Price, 1st Apsley
Over 30 of our Scouts and Explorers took part in a selection weekend at the end of November. All participants were of an excellent standard and a credit to their various Groups.
We were hoping that the District would be allocated more spaces as we had lots more really excellent candidates, but it now seems unlikely.
Congratulations to the successful three!
Colin Rivett, Assistant District Commissioner
