Community Involvement

Since scouting began, we have promised to help other people. From local fundraising to helping at meal clubs and local litter picking. But while we are active in our local areas, there is too often little engagement with people and other organisations, as well as a lack of focus on our impact or the positive difference that we have made to others.

Our emphasis on achieving our community impact aim is community involvement and the way we publicise and market ourselves to our local communities. In hand with this we need to ensure that we provide the flexibility that families need to take part in weekly scouting. We also need to keep pace with technology as well as offer an escape from it.
