1. Scouting Nederlands – mapping the unit
Scouting Nederlands ran a growth project which gave this simple tool to local Leaders to enable them to understand where young people were coming from and who was leaving, but also where there may be potential for opening new groups. It also helped identify groups in need of support to stay open.
