Lucy Tregoning
Well hello there, my name is Lucy and I’m your new Treasurer for the next year! Currently, I am studying Business Administration & Economics at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, but I am originally from the Cotswolds.
Throughout the 11 years I’ve been a Scout, I have built a huge repertoire of experience, skills and friendships that have shaped me into who I am today. My mum always says that if you cut me open, ‘Scouting’ would be written on my heart and ‘be prepared’ would be written in my head. Within Scouting I have had many fantastic experiences including as a District Youth Commissioner; attending two World Scout Jamborees; over 250 nights away and been on the organising team for Strategy & Evolution. This year I am even organising a county all-adult ski trip!
I am relatively new to SSAGO but so far it has been a whirlwind of fun! It has been an honour to be part of Glasgow SSAGO and protect our Highland Cow. SSAGO has built me countless friendships so far from across the country as well as connect with fellow Scouts from my past.
After putting myself out there and having a knack for numbers, Treasurer seems a fitting role for me. As treasurer, I intend to make all the behind the scenes work and planning faster, easier and more efficient. This will be achieved by providing resources, improving the payment systems and being an available helping hand.
I look forward to meeting more of you! Let’s hope for another fabby year of SSAGO memories!
