Sad News about Simon Aitchison, Wetherby DC

Date: 19th Sep 2021 Author: Peter Wood

It is with great sadness that Wetherby District announces the passing of it’s District Commissioner, Simon Aitchison, after a long battle with illness.

Simon was forward thinking and well liked across the District in the short time that held the role, and had already begun to plan his District Commissioner Challenge badge ready for when scouting ‘reopened’.

We will miss Simon, both at District and at Group level, and the whole District send their best wishes to all of his family and friends at this time.
