Meet The Team

David’s first experience of Scouting was as a Beaver in the 1990s at 10th Romsey (Woodley & Crampmoor) Group. We are pleased to say that he has never left since then and became our District Commissioner in 2018. He is the youngest DC we have ever had and his enthusiasm has seen the District through some of the challenges of recent years.

David’s Scouting experiences include volunteering on Brownsea Island for the Centenary celebrations in 2007 and climbing Ben Nevis.

Rob has been involved in Scouting since the 1990s starting at 10th Romsey (Woodley & Crampmoor) Group. Since then he has held various roles within the group and district. From assisting section nights, running sections, coordinating events, Romsey’s Deputy District Commissioner and now Romsey District Lead Volunteer.

Hi, I’m Cam, and I am the Deputy District Commissioner for Romsey. I am also the  Group Scout Leader for the 21st Nursling and Rownhams Scout Group.

My Scouting journey began in 2004 as a Beaver, after which I progressed to Cubs and then Scouts at the 21st. I later became a Young Leader in Cubs and then served as an Assistant Cub Leader for a year before forming and leading our second Cub Pack, Phoenix. Alongside being the Section Leader for Cubs, I also had the pleasure of serving as the Deputy Group Scout Leader.

Being the Group Scout Leader (GSL) is not my only Scouting responsibility. I have previously held the position of Assistant District Commissioner for Cub Scouts in Romsey District, where I had the opportunity to visit Cub packs across Romsey, run exciting events like the District Challenge Trophy camp, and most notably, organise our District’s trip to Disneyland Paris. I am now the Deputy District Commissioner for Romsey Scouts, where I oversee and work with the Assistant District Commissioners for all sections (Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers).

Being a leader is one of the best experiences I can imagine, as it allows me to share in all the excitement and fun that the children enjoy.

Claire doesn’t remember a time when she wasn’t a Scout, largely because her Dad was Scout leader at 15th Romsey (North Baddesley) when she was born. She started her adult Scouting as an Assistant Scout Leader in Leicester (having been away to University). She moved back to Romsey District in 2000 and was quickly signed up to the District team. Claire has been District Chair since 2014 and is proud to say that she is the first woman to have held the role.

Claire’s favourite Scouting memory is having spent the Centenary celebrations on Brownsea Island with her Dad.

Dan started as a beaver at 15th Romsey and went through all the sections eventually becoming a YL and helping at the same cub group he attended.
