Developed by members  1,300 adults and 500 young people consulted  All asked for ‘some change’  Evolutionary – small changes for Beavers and Cubs, more for Scouts, Explorers and Network  Refresh not a rebrand  Shaped and owned by young people

Benefits  More obviously a family of brands  Reflects the continuity and progression in the programme  More suitable for print and digital use  More flexible and youthful approach  Shaped and owned by young people 16

Publications – consultation  There are too many resources  People don’t know what their purpose is  A successful programme can run without them  Resources are often left at home and not looked at again  They are not particularly functional  Young people want to remember their time in Scouting
