We all
carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory.
If we were
to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us
would have our mobile phone
but
wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored
but which
one is the contact person in case of an emergency?
Hence this
'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.
The concept
of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during
emergency situations.
As mobile
phones are carried by the majority of the population,
all you
need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should
be contacted during emergency
under the
name 'ICE' ( In Case Of Emergency).
The idea
was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes
of
accidents there were always mobile phones with patients but they didn't
know which number to call.
He
therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally
recognised name for this purpose.
In an
emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff
would be able to quickly contact the right person
by simply
dialling the number you have stored as 'ICE'.
Please tell
everyone you know - text or e-mail it to friends It won't take too many
"forwards" before everybody will know about this.
It really
could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.
For more
than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and > ICE3 etc

CHANGES TO LONG
SERVICE AWARDS - 30/07/2008
-
The Length of
Service Award is a way of saying thank you to volunteers for
their continued efforts in bringing the fun and excitement
of Scouting to young people. After a recent review of the
award a few changes have been made.
-
Recognising a
volunteer’s dedication and hard work is what the Length of
Service Award is all about.
-
Recently, the
General Purposes Sub-Committee requested that additional
Length of Service Awards be made available for 20 and 30
years’ service, and that we provide awards at five yearly
intervals up to 30 years and then for each successive period
of 10 years.
-
They also asked
that a review take place of the complete process. The result
of this review is that a certificate, together with an
emblem or brooch for the non uniformed, will be issued with
each five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 year award.
-
In addition, you
will see that the design of the emblem is changing slightly.
It still follows the traditional pattern, but with the
figure-of-eight knot and number of years served in green in
each case.
-
These new-style
emblems and brooches were issued from April this year.
-
Existing holders
of Length of Service Awards may purchase the new-design
emblems and brooches by visiting the Scout Information
Centre online catalogue or alternatively by calling 0845 300
1818 should they wish to change to the new design.
