Regional Team
John Allison
Regional Lead VolunteerI’m looking forward to meeting everyone in the Sections, Groups and Districts all over the Region as we further plan together through Transformation of our movement. As a movement, Scouting has always moved forward to ensure that it is relevant, accessible and engaging for all young people. With the support of all adult volunteers and a new Regional Team behind the scenes, Transformation will allow us to do just that.

Alex Yallop

I have been in scouting since I was a beaver and progressed through all the sections. At the age of 18 I became a leader to give back experiences and opportunities to the young people in my area. Over the years as a leader, my scouting career grew and I took on a role at district level supporting scout sections within my district.
I have now taken on this role in the region and I look forward to working with regional team and all the leaders in the region to make sure we provide a positive and exciting experience for the young people and adults across our region.
