Youth Council 24th-26th March

With such a successful Youth Council in September 2022, we’ve planned our latest and hope you can join us for the weekend. 

Youth Council provides an amazing opportunity to empower young people to take control of their scouting experience. This weekend will enable young people to build their confidence and be able to work in a team, using a variety of activities, both indoors and outdoors. 

We will provide young people with the tools to become future leaders through the Youth Shape award. Furthermore, we would like to hear what our young people would like from us as their Youth Commissioners. We will:

• Be taught how to plan and run your own activities
• Take part in outdoor team-building activities
• Have discussions on Racial Equity within scouts
• Express their ‘wants’ within scouting
• Be able to find out about new opportunities

We would like to invite Explorers to join us for the weekend to hear their views on scouting across Hampshire. 

Key Details: 

• When - Friday 24th - Sunday 26th March 2023
• Where - Cricket Camp, River Hamble Country Park, Pylands Lane, Bursledon, Southampton, SO31 1BH
• Arrival at 6pm
• Collection on Sunday at 3pm
• Uniform not required but please bring a Necker
• You will be sleeping inside so you will not need a tent - Please bring your sleeping kit
• Please bring both indoor and outdoor clothes including hiking boots

At our last Youth Council, we had 30 young people attending from across the county. It would be great to have even more young people involved this time around.
