Dear Parents,
Due to concerns regarding the spread of Coronavirus we will suspend Beaver, Cub, Scout and Senior Scout weekly meetings until after the Easter holidays.
Whether or not the British Government strategy will prove effective time will tell. At the moment, any action to delay the spread of the virus appears to be the main advice along with specific protection of those identified to be at risk.
Whilst there appears at this time to be little or no risk to children, our leader demographic includes several identified as specifically at risk as do many families. I hope that by suspending our meetings for a short while we can contribute to the efforts of those qualified and responsible for managing the current situation and go some way toward reducing exposure of all families involved in the group and the potential overload of the NHS.
I will keep you updated if there is any change to this and I hope that everyone around the world can look forward to a more settled future as soon as possible.
Kind regards,
Richard
Group Scout Master
