Dear Youth Members, Dear Scouters
Great news for all Youth Members and their Programme Scouters, waiting long for review of the Youth Programme. The challenge was accepted by group of volunteers and work is due to start.
The team will take into account the outcomes from 2017 Programme Review and will also consider changes that happened in ScoutingIreland and the world around us since then.
Everybody heard a joke about “just an hour a week” – if you a re in the den every week, it is probably your most important hour of the week.And you are regularly practicing Plan-Do-Review. So, for sure you have an opinion, what is working and what could be improved. And if you are regularly supporting programme delivery as member of a county or provincial team, you have heard as many opinions, as many units you work with.
It is a chance for you to be heard!
