• Programme – vibrant, varied programme for your section.

• Investiture – celebrate Scouting identity and tradition.

We have a short guide to help with this, including –

• an overview of how to use the Scout Method to enable youth empowerment in each section.

• a check-list to self-assess progress in being youth-led.

• a suggested activity.
Safe From Harm Youth Programme

This programme aims to provide an engaging, youth-centred and age-appropriate range of activities to help develop youth members’ understanding of harm so they can;
• Recognise it, in its many forms.
• Gain an understanding of steps they can take to prevent it where possible.
• Effectively address it, if it occurs either to themselves or others.
County Youth Forum

The National Youth Forum will take place on 6th & 7th December. Scout counties are advised to start planning their County Youth Forum now, so that County Youth representatives can be elected and booked in by November to attend the National Youth Forum. This guide will help with running a County Youth Forum.
