Youth Shaped Scouting

When scouting first began, it was young people themselves who decided what they wanted to do. We want to ensure that this principle is still part of day-to-day scouting, providing young people with the opportunities to shape their scouting in partnership with adults.

Every young person should be able to shape their scouting experience and our leaders should build into their sections programme the opportunity for young people to do this.

Today whilst there is enthusiasm for the idea of young people playing a key role in decision making, there is no agreed standard or consistent approach.
