Photo Competition - Reunion '08
Fellowships across the country spend thousands of hours providing valuable support to Scouting, and having a lot of fun along the way! This year at Reunion '08 Glenn Walker, the UK Adviser for Scout Fellowship, wants to celebrate the successes of all Fellowships, and for you to showcase your Fellowships' achievements.

We would like you to send in photos (ether prints or by email) of your Fellowship in action, which we will then display in our 'Gilwell Gallery' on the Fellowship base at Reunion. Send us photos that are active, fun and exciting and show the great support that your Fellowship offers. There will be a prize for the best picture of a Fellowship supporting Scouting in 2008, based on the above criteria.

To enter please e-mail your pictures to fellowship@scout.org.uk by 3rd September 2008, or post copies to:
Scout Fellowship
The Scout Association
Gilwell Park
Chingford
London
E4 7QW

Please remember to include the name of your Fellowship, a contact name, telephone number, address and email if you have one with anything that you send in. We are sorry but we will not be able to return any prints sent to us.

You can also bring prints with you to give to us on the day. We will judge the competition at lunchtime on Saturday.

News (April 2008) - census
The 2008 census figures are now in, and Fellowship membership stands at just under 8,000, thats about 9% of our adult membership! Thanks to all of you who are actively supporting local Scouting through Fellowship, including everyone who is not included in the above number as Fellowship is not their only Scouting role.

Welcome to the New Scout Fellowship webpages (April 2008)
These have been developed over the last few months to provide you with whatever you want to see about Fellowship. Please tell us what you think by emailing fellowship@scout.org.uk
