Stephen Young - 16-02-2010
Yesterday afternoon Stephen was killed by an avalanche in the Scottish Highlands. He was on a Kent Scout led climbing expedition when the accident happened.
Stephen had been in the movement since he was 6 years old passing through all the sections from Beavers to Explorers, where reaching his 18th birthday last year he became a Network Scout and was helping Craig develop this section. He was also helping run the Scouts at Ightham as well as being a young person representative on both the District and County Executive Committees
He will sadly be missed by us all and we ask that we give our thoughts and support to Borough Green and Ightham Groups and especially to his mum Judy (who was also on the expedition) during these difficult times.
With sympathy,
Malling District Scouts
