Question 1

The Programme review saw Leaders and Young People ask for certain things to be included within a new structure. However, from a ‘campsite/centres’ perspective, what are you seeing from the types of activities or packages they are looking for?

Question 2

Leaders are crucial to many things that are delivered. What are the barriers and potential opportunities?

Question 3

Vision 2018 calls for young people to shape Scouting in partnership with adults. How can young people be involved in actively shaping campsites for the future?
