Elizabeth Poppitt started the County Office in June 2009 and became its Manager and County Secretary. Sarah Burtt joined her part-time in March 2017 as the office workload grew.

Between them they provide administrative support to Dorset County Scouts Council and are the focal point for all enquiries to assist Scouting in Dorset. As well as supporting the County Chair, County Commissioner and his Teams, they support Finance, help arrange Conferences, County AGM, manage bookings for County activities, assist Team Leaders with events, process DofE application forms, support QS registrations and always happy to help our Dorset Scout Members … Every day is an adventure in County Office!
