Andy has
overall responsibility for everything the Troop does.
With over twenty years experience as a Leader, and as a Scout
before that, Andy knows just what it takes to put together an
exciting programme Scouts at Adderbury will love.
Andy has
strong organisational skills and has run trips for Scouts to
Austria and Florida in the past, and co-ordinates the annual
Summer Camp. He's also an astute business professional
and manages the Troop's accounts keeping activities within budget,
and within acceptable levels for parents.
Andy also
ensures compliance with all rules and regulations.
Outside Scouting Andy works in the radio industry as a broadcaster
and consultant. You may even hear him from time to
time on stations like Newbury Sound, Reading 107, Banbury Sound,
Mix 96 and Kestrel FM. |
John grew up in
a Scouting family – his father was a Scout Leader and his mother a
Cub Leader. He holds the Duke of
Edinburgh's Gold Award and has been involved with 1st Adderbury
for 18 years since he was called in to act the part of a criminal
trying to steal Scout funds at an ”observation” themed meeting!
He is
proficient in Scouting's basic skills
and self survival techniques and takes a
leading role in the training of our members in these areas.
As an electronic engineer John also
provides the infrastructure for computers and
communications when the troop is camping in remote
areas.
John is married
with two children aged 7 and 10 and currently works as Production
Manager for a local engineering company. |
