It was a real honour to present Jeff Wood with his Silver Wolf 🐺 🎖️ at Queen Charlotte’s Wood on Tuesday. Jeff is an outstanding volunteer and the Silver Wolf is the highest accolade a volunteer can achieve. Thanks Jeff for all the work you do for Explorers, Top Awards and QCW

At Youth Power Election Hour, young people learned about politics, shared their voices, and discussed ways to get involved. They showed up passionate and engaged. That’s why the next government must #BackYouth.

6th Runcorn Scout Group held their first Squirrel Taster Sessions last night. Lots of great activities and fun was had, as well as some learning and making friendships throughout the evening. That's what Scouts is all about right there! – at Runcorn, England

I truly believe organisations like @scouts are a force for good 👍 I see the impact we can have on young (and not so young) people every day. However, the fact is that demand outstrips supply. We need support from Government to make volunteering easier for working people!
Today, we are launching the #ScoutsManifesto 'Building Brighter Tomorrows' to support today’s young people. With 100,000 on our waiting lists, we need 40,000+ new volunteers and government support. Explore the manifesto: bit.ly/3x9q5pP #BuildingBrighterTomorrows
