The Scout Association

Have your say on the future of Scouting...

We are now ready for the next stage in the work on agreeing Scouting’s Vision Towards 2018 and would again like your input.

Comments and suggestions from the summer consultations were considered at the National Conference in October, and the outputs from 26 workshops and other sessions are summarised in the report Vision for Scouting in 2018.

You can contribute individually or perhaps by discussing at your Leader meetings. We are also particularly keen to hear the views of young people and would encourage all Leaders to discuss with their Sections and Units wherever possible.

Some specific aspects you might wish to consider include:

1. Consider the statements in paragraph 11 of the report, do you agree with them, or would you suggest changes?
2. Do you agree with the priorities identified in paragraph 12 of the report, would you suggest changes?
3. If we were to identify a ‘big ambition’ for Scouting, what should it be?

Please send your comments to vision2018@scout.org.uk, indicating whether they are personal or representative of a particular group of people, no later than the end of February 2010. To assist analysis, please keep them succinct wherever possible.

May we also take the opportunity to thank you for all that you have done for Scouting throughout this year and to wish you, your family and friends all the very best for the coming year.
