from the Divisional District Commissioners

We are always reading headlines about the decline in "this-and-that" and about how

"such-and-such" is causing problems - usually portraying young people in a very

poor light.

Well!! Take note!!

Here we have young people, and the not so young people, from all over Stoke and

Newcastle:-

1. Working together

2. Having tremendous fun

3. Providing high-class entertainment

That really ought to be headline news.

What is amazing is that Screamline casts have been doing this since 1934 and all

part of the 100 year movement, called "Scouting".

So to the team of "Screamline" - All the very best this week.

To the audiences - marvel and enjoy.

To all my Scouting friends in Screamline:

This is the first year that I have been involved with Screamline and I am both amazed and grateful, that so many of you have given up your time to ensure that our Divisional Show will be something special. You truly are inspirational, not only to me, but to everyone involved in Scouting in North Staffordshire.

I am sure all your hard work and enthusiasm will enable you to rise up and meet the challenge to make this year's Screamline something special for our Centenary Year. The way you have all bonded together from the three Districts together with our Guiding friends, surely embodies the spirit of Scouting - "A Scout is a brother to all Scouts."

Congratulations to all of you involved in Screamline, in whatever role, you have truly kept to Baden Powell's words "Do your best." I am sure that everyone involved in Scouting in Staffordshire will be proud of you all.

Well done!

Pete

Screamline as with any other gang show offers the chance for our members to be stars whether front, on or back stage, front of house, making the orange juice or producing and directing the show all roles are equally important to the final outcome. What a privilege for all three Districts making up the Division to be part of the worlds oldest living Scout Show especially in our centenary year. Well done to all. Enjoy the time together and we all salute you for the commitment and effort freely given, helping to realise the aims of our movement.

Thank you all.

Hi Screamline Beavers.

The Show week is just 2 days away, you have all been 'Brilliant' to work with. Just remember your words and actions, also the dance, but most of all enjoy yourselves on stage and keep those going. I'll try hard to be as good as you all are and not let you down.

"Break a leg" as thespians say. Jenny.

Well Cubs and Brownies thats it rehersals over and now its show time.

I want to thank you for all your hard work over the last 6 months. You have been great during rehersals and now its time to go out there and show them what you can do.

Go on that stage as though you own it and enjoy every minute of it, remember you will never do screamline again.

I will miss seeing you all, but I hope to see you all in the next show.

Once again THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all your hard work.

You deserve alll the praise you will get because I want you all to know

"YOU ARE THE BEST"

Love to you all

Celebrating 100 years of Scouting and being in the longest running show in the world, what more could a young person want, (Play stations excluded). Two years of planning, six months of rehearsals, many trials and tribulations have come up against us but as you'll see ............., the cast and everyone involved in the show have pulled through in true Scouting spirit. As Ralph Reader said in one of his many songs, "I have a gang with a high class score who could ask for anything more". Many thanks must go to my production team and helpers who have made this show possible. So .................................... enjoy, and see that Scouting is still thriving in many ways after all these years.

Thanks, Paul
