One of the things that gives us a lovely warm glow is getting praise for the youngsters and Leaders out of the blue. In particular it is great when it comes from our parents or our community.

Absolutely amazing event. Thank you so much to Richard for leading and the team for looking after G and E who both had a fab time. Great photos. Don’t think I have ever seen so much mud to wash off, and that’s an achievement after decades of outdoor activities ”

“Thank you so much to the leaders for taking the kids on this amazing adventure. I have never seen A so chuffed with her achievements but equally so tired. Thank you”

“I’m sure that you all realise just how proud I am of all of the youngsters in the Group and, of course, all of the Leaders and adult helpers who make it all happen.”

‘”We would like to thank the Scouts very much indeed for their help at this year’s Butleigh Church Fete. They understood what they were asked to do and did it with no fuss. They responded promptly to calls to do something and were willing, reliable, polite and efficient.They were a credit to the Barton St David Scouts. We hope they enjoyed the afternoon and that they will feel encouraged to participate next year.’ ‘Please pass on our thanks to all who took part“

“Just a quick email to say thank you so much for inviting A last night. A is really looking forward to seeing you again in September.  You have such a wonderful group, it was lovely to meet you all and see the children”

“I appreciate what you all do and how enriching it is for my kids”

I always look forward to hearing how the Group are doing and all the amazing activities that you and the leaders carry out for the young people.

“Your whole team on the day, youngsters and adults, were fantastic, a credit to the scout movement and the group you lead. I do hope you’ll be willing to do the same for us next year. Have a great summer.” Barton St David Carnival.

“Thank you all very much for coming to the Benefice Remembrance Sunday service and bringing so many scouts. Your presence always gives the service a more formal feel, whilst also allowing your members to get involved. We would especially like to thank the two readers who read the lessons, they both read extremely well.” Lydford Church Warden
