A big thank you to all Scouts who helped out on our stand at the National Outdoor Expo in Birmingham, welcoming new volunteers. What a great showcase for #SkillsForLife. Were you at the show?

The Scouts are recruiting and growing in areas where we already thrive, and in communities that are new to Scouting. Over 100 adults expressed interest to volunteer following our recent attendance at the National Outdoors Expo. facebook.com/watch?v=1721116…

Submitted a story to Oxford Mail @OxMailMattN1 about Explorer Scouts in Oxfordshire learning life skills. Hope they can use it on their website, in hard copy and on social media.

Replying to @_CREC
@_CREC has been working with @scouts for over 4 years to support their early years programme - so wonderful to hear Davina share how Squirrels has responded to need to reach and engage disadvantaged communities through innovative delivery models.

It’s not a secret that I’m a bit of a fan of @scouts and their new offer for 4 and 5 year olds is wonderful. But I’ll be keeping pressure on the government to keep exploring ways which we can help these groups keep fees low for parents during the cost of living crisis.

Financial support for East London teenagers - thank you to The Honourable Society of the Knights of the Round Table for their generous donation. The funds will be used by the Dockland Explorer Scouts to take social action supporting their local community.

Deeply saddened by the death of HM The Queen. A dedicated supporter and role model for young people. Photo from a visit to my own Scout Group - 4th Poplar Scouts - curious, engaging and a smile for everyone. My thoughts are with the Royal Family at this difficult time.
