Gone home – Barbara Warren

Barbara Warren, a volunteer in Finchley since 1950, has died.

She had a number of roles with the 10th Finchley, starting with ‘Lady Cub Instructor’.  In 1966 she became District Cub Scout Leader for Finchley, Friern Barnet and Golders Green and six years later moved on to be Assistant District Commissioner for Cubs.

Barbara then went on to support the District Team with General Duties and Leader Training, eventually becoming the District Secretary in the 1990s. She retired from Scouting in 2004 having been awarded the Silver Acorn in 1999.

We send our heartfelt condolences to Derek, her husband of nearly 70 years.
