Our Programme Workbank

Here’s some of the Growth & Development projects we have completed, currently working on and that are in the pipeline.

Completed Projects

Recruitment Backpack

Andrew is in the process of putting together a set of useful resources that can be used for both adult and youth recruitment. This will include resources such as banners, signs, leaflets, QR codes, demo activities as well as advice what you should say to different people. Once complete, the suitcase(s) will be available for groups and district team members for community events, AGM’s, school visits etc to aid with adult and youth recruitment.

Andrew will be working with 12th Widnes to recruit a new Group Scout Leader, restart the Scout section, bolster the Cub section and support with the recruitment of Trustees. This will involve visits to local schools, running some parent/child taster sessions and engaging with the local community.
