to supporting
'The Scouts' 2018-
significant
activities		 planned to achieve 2023 Skills for Life Strategy. We will achieve this by:
them) Encouraging
Leaders to gain more camp and activity permits,
allowing
for more in house adventure,
whilst enabling
a more
flexible attitude to volunteering
by relieving
heavy reliance
placed on those who cumently
hold permits. We will actively
recruit for more adult volunteers
to enable further
growth
whilst providing
ongoing
support
for our existing volunteers		 to
ensure they achieve the required
standards
of Leader
training.
The Leaders
will continue
to facilitate a youth
shaped
programme
particularly
within the Scout Section with
the hope ofgreater
input to termly programmes
by youth
members.
The Group must continue
to invest
in equipment		 to
ensure
it can maintain
current
levels ofcontinued
growth.

permission
to extend our current headquarters
