A Group Plan is a tool that assists a Group in organising all of its resources in order to progress from its current state to its desired future state. The latest GWSR publication talks you through this process.

Retention of young people is key to running a successful Scout Group. As leaders it is important that we encourage and support young people to continue their journey in Scouting. Each section offers new challenges and activities, along with badges and awards to earn. The Scouting Programme is designed to be progressive through the sections, with young people developing their skills as they move on. In this brochure we look at getting your members ready for linking and a smooth transition between the sections.
