First, I want to explain what we have done so far to make sure our next strategic plan is owned by volunteers and young people, and informed by external experts and decision makers.
We started consulting back in October with a survey to all adult volunteers.
The insights from that survey was then used by Regional and National Commissioners to discuss with County Commissioners and line managers in the Nations, what they took from the research
YouShape month had dedicated resources for helping section leaders to ask young people what they thought was most important to their Scouting experience
We polled politicians asking how our last strategic plan had landed with them and what they thought of our emerging priorities
Finally we have conducted focus groups with the general public, as well as specifically with black and ethnic minorities and communities in areas of deprivation.
All of this research has helped shape Summit17. Your role here is critical in what happens next. We’ll take what you decide and consult further with young people and adult volunteers on a District and Group level. We are aiming to have a new strategic planned agreed by the Board of Trustees in January 2018, so that we can get started from April 2018.

4. Scouting can be, and always has been, a solution to society’s issues…

Robert Baden-Powell
