It’s mid-September, and by now most Groups are back up and running, Sections are settling in and plans are starting to take shape for the year ahead.
The national programme teams have put together a set of Back into ACTION resources to help Sections get going again after the summer. They cover some of the things that come up at this time of year – welcoming new members, getting small groups up and running, planning together and building towards the first adventure.
Resources and posters for each Section are below.
