Hi SSAGO - I'm Ed, our Secretary for 2025/26
I've been in Scouting since Beavers and gone through all the sections, enjoying Beavers so much that I went back as a Young (and now adult) Leader! I've got Beaver units in Chester (home) and Birmingham (uni), and hopefully soon another in Bristol (placement)! Outside of leading I've done an Explorer Belt and took a patrol to Roverway 2024, and am on a bit of a lifelong mission to become a Useful Person.
I've been BUSAG's Chair for the last year and am on SSAGOes to Space Rally committee, and have had a great time with both! You might recognise me from wandering around with a womble painted on my face at Midlands Freshers 2023, 5 wombles stuffed into my belt at Oktoberfest Rally, or a big cardboard rocket costume on at Team Pink Rally! Also, someone from your club has probably stolen Bungo (the BUSAG chair's mascot) from me at some point...
I'm about to begin a placement year down in Bristol, but normally can be found in Birmingham doing aerospace engineering (and wishing I was doing materials science instead!)
Come and say hi if you see me at rally!

Report
- SSAGO exists: SSAGO has not imploded in the past few months, which feels like a good start!
- Minutes and Agendas: I've been checking over and uploading Team Pink minutes and agendas to the website.
- Email/actions tracking: I've created spreadsheets to help us keep on top of outstanding actions/emails we've received, and am doing my best to keep them updated!
Aims
- Factsheets: over summer I want to reach out to Aber, Bangor BUGS and SUGS to find out if they'd want any particular factsheets translated into Welsh (and ask for their support in doing so)
- More factsheets!: I want to work with Policy Fixers and the rest of Pink to overhaul some of our (very) dated factsheets
- Consistency: I'll try and work to a stricter schedule with publishing agendas and minutes
- Reps: at time of writing, my next goal is to figure out how to set up Reps on the website. Hopefully by the time Reps comes around, I'll have figured this out though
