Exciting news for Bromley Scouts – Welcome Enrico!

I am delighted to announce that, following our recent recruitment process, Enrico Zuccarello has accepted the opportunity to take over from Sheila as District Lead Volunteer for Bromley Scouts, following her decision to step down from the role.

Enrico brings with him a passion for Scouting, having been a Scout in Italy from a young age right through to Explorers. He particularly values the opportunities Scouting creates for adventure, community involvement and bringing young people and their families together.

A shared approach to leading Bromley Scouts

Our move to District Lead Volunteer provided an exciting opportunity to develop a more collaborative, supportive, consistent, and sustainable approach to leadership.

Enrico will join Gary and Steven as part of Bromley's shared District Lead Volunteer team from Wednesday 9 December. Rather than one person carrying the responsibility for leading the District, the three District Lead Volunteers will share leadership responsibilities, each taking the lead on agreed areas of work while supporting one another and making key decisions together.

Enrico will have a particular focus on leading the District's future direction of scouting across Bromley, helping to shape its direction. He'll work closely with Gary and Steven, alongside the wider District Leadership Team and District Trustee Board, to build on what's already been achieved and lead on developing plans for the future.

Much of what Gary and Steven currently support will not change but the team will share more details about how the Lead Volunteer responsibilities will be divided in due course, so everyone knows who to contact for different areas of support.

This approach is about bringing people together, making the most of everyone's skills and experience, and ensuring that leadership is shared, supported and sustainable.

A huge thank you to Sheila

I would also like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Sheila for her tremendous dedication, commitment and hard work in leading and supporting Bromley District since she took up the role in December 2021. Her contribution to Scouting in Bromley has been invaluable, and we are enormously grateful for everything she has done.

As Sheila steps down from her District Lead Volunteer responsibilities, we wish her all the very best and thank her for the time, energy and enthusiasm she has given to supporting Scouting across the District.

Looking ahead

This is an exciting new chapter for Bromley Scouts and a fantastic opportunity to build on the District's achievements, build our support for our amazing volunteers and create even more opportunities for young people to have a place to belong and gain skills for life.

Please join me in congratulating Enrico on his appointment and giving him a really warm welcome to Bromley's District Leadership Team!

Welcome aboard, Enrico! We're excited to have you on the team and look forward to everything we can achieve together!

Kind regards,

Judy 🙂
