Network News NetNews
Vol. 3 Issue 1
February 2011
URGENT NetNews Editor Required Fi Durrant - Hampshire Scout Network Co-Chair
After 2 years of editing and putting together
NetNews Fi has THREE new Scouting roles and
so feels it’s time to hang up her electronic pen
and pass on to someone new. If you are
interested in editing the NetNews (only 4 issues
a year) then please contact Fi or Ray.

Copy date for the May issue is the 23rd

Scouting Magazine Youth Editors Rob Vine - Fareham East Explorer
December Scouting Magazine landed on door mats
throughout the UK showing what young people can
do. It should be no surprise to us!
It was edited by a team of four Explorer Scouts, one
of which was Rob from Fareham.
Read page two to find out how you should get your
copy complete with Network supplement.
County co-Chair, ACC & BYC, Fi
Network member Fi Durrant shows how it
should be done. Since becoming Editor of
NetNews Fi soon became a County Scout
Network co-Chairman. She was then asked to
lead the formation of The County Youth and
with this joined the County Core-Team as ACC
Youth Council.
Then Fi applied and was selected to represent
UK scouts at the World Scout Conference.
Now Fi has been selected to represent
Scouting’s Youth on the British Youth Council.
Way to go Fi!

Census The Scout Association
The Scout Association carries out a census of it’s
members every year so that it has an accurate
record of it’s membership.
It can also monitor trends such as “at what age do
members leave”,”have we been successful with
recruitment”.
It can then ask “what is one Region/County/
District or Group doing to recruit members
compared to a Group that is losing members”.
Registration Hampshire Scout Network All new members (and those who have not yet done so and those without a CRB) MUST register as a Network member using the attached form AND a Form OH (Occasional Helper).
When you join Scout Network, as with all of the
over 18 years members, The Association must
keep a record of you. Name, Date of Birth,
Address and other contact details etc. As with any
organisation it should be able to contact you and
of course you should be able to contact them!
When you register with Scout Network, we in
Hampshire ensure that you are kept informed of
all of the opportunities open to you. (if you know
of someone in your Network that does not get a
copy of the NetNews then please let us know).
When you register you will receive an email or
text to welcome you. When you pay your
registration fee (£10) you will receive:
You will also receive...
Membership fees, Network monies The Scout Association & Hampshire County & Hampshire
Scout Network
The 2011 Membership = HQ £20.25 + County £7.25
(there will be a 50p discount for those who pay on
time). As yet no District has charged District subs
to a Network, knowing what a benefit having a
Network based in their District is.
Scout Network members pay monies to their
parent Network’s Account Manager. The Network
Account Manager pays their host District’s or
County Treasurer.
Scout Network members who also holds an Adult
Appointment (i.e. Assistant Cub Scout Leader
(ACSL), Scout Leader (SL)) do not pay the above
fee twice. For them, this fee is normally paid by
their Group or Unit or District.
Network members should also be charged annually
for any running costs budgeted by the Network
committee. Approximately £30 (2011) a year. - This
will differ from Network to Network.
Payment is due by 28th
February of each year - The
total payment of approximately £60, or in the case
of Adult Appointment holders, £27 (2011), is
payable.
Good Practice - Network members should be
charged regularly throughout the year so that
monies have already been paid come 1st
January of
each year. Suggest £1 per week or £5 per month or
pay per term, or quarterly.

Serbian Explorer Belt Expedition
Team Penguin, a group of three Scout Network
and Guide members undertook their Explorer
Belt Award expedition across Serbia in August
2010. Helen and Louie tell us what it was like
The trip was for 17 days and was the biggest
challenge in Team Penguin’s lives so far. We
gathered at the Serbian headquarters in Sabac
ready to begin. We were very nervous as we
couldn’t plan routes until the day before we
were due to leave, which was nerve-racking. Our
nerves increased after we planned our route and
it dawned on us how far we would be walking
for ten days with our really heavy bags – our
first day was 22km.
We had a fantastic time during the expedition.
The Serbian people were so kind to us and
helped at every opportunity, even though many
couldn’t speak a word of English. We were
offered drinks and food wherever we stopped or
even when just passing by their house. We
helped on a farm doing chores, hiked like a
walking jumble sale with washing drying on
our backs and Ben even had his hair shaved off
as one of the challenges. Along the way we
made some great friends, who we hope to keep
in touch with in the future.
It felt like we had walked 1,000 miles but
completing the challenge gave us a great sense
of achievement. If you ever get the chance to
experience an Explorer Belt, then do it.
