Appointment of New Chief Commissioner
On behalf of the whole Association, we would like to congratulate Norman Boxall for receiving an MBE in the New Year’s Honours. Seventy-five years of Scouting and most of those years spent supporting young people - it is a fabulous achievement.
Norman's honour was recently reported in the press.
The NC have formally asked Norman to step up the post of Chief Commissioner and we are delighted to advise you that he accepted…
Normans response was, ‘I’m overwhelmed and honoured to be asked, it’s something I never thought I’d achieve’.
