From what I can see it was seemingly over a very minor issue and no one was put at risk. As parents of Beavers, Cubs and Scouts it is our role to encourage and support our leaders and it is vital that we act now to reinstate Nicholas.
Nicholas is an excellent Cub and Scout leader. He is truly dedicated, experienced, calm, organised and passionate about enforcing traditional Scouting values.
As a parent of a Cub in the 1st & 9th I can see how his presence in the group has transformed the pack. They are well presented, enthusiastic and very respectful of Nicholas. In addition he has created a great programme of activities which revisit some of the origins of scouting, such as camp craft and badge work.
We all know how difficult it is to recruit volunteers to take on leading such groups and Jackie and Sue are both already hugely overworked. Surely we don't want to lose such a good and dedicated leader without a fight?
Lets aim to get Nicholas back before the District Camp on 9th May!
Please sign this petition, and share it with any parents, carers, beavers, cubs or scouts who you think may feel the same.
Thank you!

I have been hearing from so many parents who feel just as frustrated as I do because losing someone like Nicholas is honestly a massive blow to the group. I am still trying to get someone from the association to actually talk to us about why he was suspended in the first place but the silence is honestly just so weird and frustrating.

The momentum feels absolutely wild today and honestly I barely have the words to process it because it just keeps growing. It really shows how much everyone values what Nicholas brings to the pack even when things feel like a total mess behind the scenes.

Didn't deserve such brutal treatment everyone is entitled to make mistakes and learn by them
I've been with in the same cub group for about a year and I noticed a massive difference in enthusiasm from the Cubs when Nicolas joined and I think that he is really good with the kids and don't see any reason for him not to be reinstated
Nicholas is a superb leader

As far as I'm concerned Nicholas is a committed member of the scouting organisation and has supported my sons group (1st and 9th) as they have struggled to maintain a consistent group leader. He has always put the organisation ahead of everything and shown true leadership and is very respected by both scout and parents. Members like Nicholas must be retained within the group if we want the organisation to continue as it is. The organisation should consider the next steps with Nicholas with very carefully and not let bureaucracy get in the way of common sense.
