Barry Jones

It is with much sadness that we have to announce that Barry Jones, Crawley District Scout’s ex-Chairman, sadly passed away Thursday evening (5th October 2023).

Barry truly embodied what a Scout should be, gentle, kind and helpful. Barry has held many roles in Crawley over his 40+ years of service to the Scout Association and achieved the Silver Acorn Award, one of the highest an adult volunteer can achieve.

The thoughts of everyone within Crawley District Scouts are with Barry’s family at this sad time. May he forever rest in peace.
