Youth Commissioners Community Challenge 2020
As Scouts, we’re always striving to leave the world a little better than we found it.
Over the last one hundred years, the issues we’ve tackled have evolved and changed, but our young people’s drive to make a positive impact remains constant
In the summer of 2015, the UK Scout Association launched A Million Hands, a social action programme to give half a million young people the support they need to tackle the issues they care about and to make a positive impact in their communities.
The City of Nottingham Scouts have not participated in A Million Hands as a District.
This is changing for 2020.
Our Youth Commissioner has set the following challenge to all our Scout Groups:
Identify a real issue within your local community and determine how you/your section can address this issue using the power of food to bring people of different ages together.
Communications
The District recognises the need for improved communications, both internally and externally. As a consequence we are introducing a general communication policy, and a social media policy. The communication policy and social media policy are now available.
Nights Away
Form NAN's online submissions have now been transferred to this website. The District Team can view all notifications received.
