Vice-Chairman

Danica Zekulich

Hi everyone!

What a year it’s been... We’ve finally seen the return to a sense of normalcy this year which has seen our membership start to rise again at the beginning of the year. We experienced the usual pattern of membership growth and falls over the year and are seeing us end the year with a total of 157 Rover Scouts. This number reflects a large project that occured in the background in clearing up the mess that was MyScout; we finally got rid of some previously closed Units, inactive or booted members and even included removing the longest standing on the books rover at 33 years old!

We finally saw the retirement of the BPSA Support Team after the last few Rover Scouts completing their award on the old system have since received their award. This team has been instrumental in helping many achieve the highest award possible within the Rover badgework system and I thank them all for their time and effort over the years.

This year, one of my big goals was to work with Unit Leaders on a more individual level; this has seen me help Units to recruit new members, create Unit codes and even run a successful Unit council. Something I would like to see continue into 2023. I want to thank my 2022 exec for sticking around through the highs and lows behind the scenes this year as well as Unit Leaders for all their hard work in keeping WA Rover Scouts running smoothly at ground level.

Lastly I want to wish the income executive good luck for the upcoming year and I hope that you thoroughly enjoy the role. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as Vice Chairman, to tag along for the ride and support you and your Unit needs through this year!
