District Development Day

The District Team looks forward to you joining us for an exciting and stimulating day at the Heath Conference Centre working together to determine the future of the District.
Together, we want to piece together our strategic plan that will enable more young people from the local area to access Scouting, equip them with skills for life and ultimately better futures.
We believe this plan should be shaped by as many people as possible and that’s why we are asking representatives from groups to come along too!
Who’s Invited?
We want to ensure that a good cross section of every group is respresented. We are asking Group Scout Leaders/The DESC in partnership with the group/Unit to select a delegation that includes:

Groups:

The GSL, AGSL or Group Contact
The Group Chair or a representative from the Exec
A Section Leader (from any section)
A Scout

Explorer Units:

The ESL
Three Explorers

Young Leader Unit:

The ESL YL
Three Young Leaders (not part of an ESU)

Network are invited to represent the section and three places will be available on a first come first served basis.
District ASU managers are also invited to attend with a co-member.
The Format
The Day will start with a plenary in the lecture theatre. We are rather excited to have a very special guest speaker joining us! We are also pleased to welcome a member of the Regional Development Team who will be on hand to offer friendly help and advice.
Throughout the day, there will be a number of workshops, activities and discussions which will help to inform the plan that will take the District forward…
Refreshments and Lunch will be provided by our World Scout Jamboree Contingent.
Every group who attends will also receive a ‘goodie bag’ of resources and some cool souvenirs!
