Youth Shaped Gordon

Welcome to our very own account where we'll post some hints and tips to get Youth Shaped Scouting in Gordon and to showcase how our groups are working towards being #YouthApproved #YouShape #Scouts

📢 It's time to get excited - the brand new @scouts #YouShape award is launching this October! The award makes it easier to embed Youth Shaped into our programmes, and helps young people learn leadership skills that they’ll use for the rest of their lives. You ready?

@NEScouts live now at @GrampianPride 🌈🏳️‍🌈

📣 As certain restrictions are lifted from today, we're continuing to ask young people how they feel Covid-19 is impacting them through our #LockdownLowdown survey. Please encourage as many young people as possible to take the survey! ➡️ bit.ly/3cC7QfN

Over 100 youth commissioners from across @UKScouting joined us this afternoon for our online #YCDay21. As always when we run these, I'm coming away feeling excited, motivated and inspired by amazing YCs everywhere. And it wouldn't be a support day without a UK map! #YouShape

Enjoying listening to our wonderful and inspiring @UKScouting Chief Commissioner @TimothyKidd at #YCDay21 🇬🇧

So exciting to see everyone coming together too learn more about youth shaped scouting #YCDay21

Looking forward to the online Youth Commissioner’s Support Day #YCDay21 learning how we can have #YouShape at the heart of Scouting over the next 12 months.

Great to be part of the UK Youth Commissioner’s call tonight and hear how we can keep #youshape Scouting alive as we begin to restart face to face scouting. Massive congratulations to @OllieSmithScout on completing his wood beads as Deputy UK Youth Commissioner! 🥳 🎉

Through @UKScouting partnership with @Alpkit Foundation, we’re offering small grants to equip young people in Scouting (aged 18-25) with skills that will allow them to lead adventurous activities for other young people. Find out more at scouts.org.uk/volunteers/run…

Had a great time tonight helping out with Balmedie Explorers talking to them about Youth Shaped and what they would like to see happen in Gordon District for our Explorer Units. The s’mores at the end seemed to go down a treat! #youthshaped #skillsforlife

#RemembranceDay2020 will be a little bit different this year. @scoutsscotland has come up with some great suggestions to make sure we can all still take part safely. #wewillremeberthem🌹 See the full guidance here: tinyurl.com/y45oe7ek

This is a great opportunity for our Youth Members to get involved in the issues that matter! #youshape #HaveYourSay
