Paul Whittaker South Holderness Lead Volunteer (District Commissioner)

I have recently been appointed as the new South Holderness Lead Volunteer previously known as District Commissioner.  I have been scouting in South Holderness since 2007 having had various roles throughout my time.

I have spent all my time in Withernsea, and I was invested as a young cub back in 1972 and went into scouts. So, going back to scouting decades later was like going full circle.

I look forward to leading our District by going forward with the new structures and supporting all members and their sections.
