Census

Census Online 2009 is well under way with 40% of Groups and Districts having submitted their online Census. This is a significant number, well up on last years figures, and congratulations are due to all participants. This also confirms the convenience this form of Census submission is offering Group and District Leaders.

We would like to remind you that Census needs to be submitted as soon as possible, with payment and supporting documents due by Friday, 29th May 2009.

Congratulations go to Maida Vale Scout Group being the first Group to submit Census. Jason Stasev (Group Leader of Maida Vale) was presented with a $50 voucher for the Scout Store.
