#Youshape Evening

On Thursday 13th July, two District Youth Commissioners (Miles and Owen) from East Grinstead Scouts ran a #Youshape evening for 1st Langley Green Scouts.

After introductions and questions about #Youshape, the scouts were still slightly confused as to what it was. They introduced the snowball game, “throwing” ideas at each other for programme and created a ‘cool wall’ of all their favourite ideas.

Following this, they ran a Dragon’s Den activity. This involved the Scouts splitting into their patrols and creating a unique pitch to give to their leader team and the YC representatives. Their ideas included Paint balling evening, an activity camp and a Superhero themed Olympics. These ideas were all taken into consideration and will hopefully be implemented into the future programme.

After, whilst the younger scouts were playing a game, they introduced the leaders into a PL Council/Forum. This was to show the PL’s their roles and how they can influence their patrol and help them cooperate with the leaders to make their troop thrive.

Some photos of the evening are available below.
