Well done Thomas!
We’re delighted to confirm that one of our Scouts, Thomas, has been selected to help shape Scouting activities across Lincolnshire as part of the County Youth Forum.
At the start of the summer, youth members aged 13-17 were invited to apply for a position on the team. The forum is all about being 'Change Makers'; shaping the future of Scouting across Lincolnshire and ensuring that the opportunities are exciting for young people, and not just what ‘old folk’ (Leaders) think that the young people want to do. The forum members will be involved in decisions including where money is spent, as well as giving open and honest feedback, and at the same time having fun, making friends and gaining #SkillsForLife.
Over to Thomas…
Selection Day for the New Lincolnshire Youth Forum
I was invited to the Lincolnshire Youth Forum selection day which was held in Sleaford on Saturday 24th September. There were around eight of us from all over the County. We were set a range of interesting teamwork challenges including the dreaded pringles circle challenge. We were also set the easier challenge to build the London Eye from newspaper.
The candidates also discussed ideas for upcoming Scout events and awards. I would also like to congratulate Ellie Broome on finishing her Queen’s Scout Award and thank her and the County Youth Team for organising the day.
I am pleased to say I was selected and am looking forward to being part of the Lincolnshire Youth Forum.
Congratulations, well done Thomas!
