3 weeks until #WalesOutdoorLearningWeek 2025! We're gathering resources, events, and ideas for this year's theme, "inspiring ambitious and capable learners." In the meantime, check out last year's page for inspiration! walescouncilforoutdoorlearning.org

Whatever age the young people and volunteers you work with are, this training is relevant. Young people are never too young to feel included. This training is free to members. Understanding LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Scouting: 09/04/25, 18.30-19.30 Book now 👉tinyurl.com/mrjjkwwj

WCfOL supporter @cadwwales is recruiting! Heritage sites play an important role in outdoor learning - where better to learn about history, culture, and geography than outdoors? More information here: cadw.gov.wales/about-us/caree…

We are glad to see the collective voice of youth organisations has been heard. Still more to do as the Bill progresses to make sure it is fair and proportionate. But today we are taking 5 minutes to appreciate a move in the right direction.

Members, don't forget to sign up for our free Inclusivity training. The first session is 9/4/25, 18.30-19.30. These interactive sessions offer practical support, an opportunity to ask questions and have been specifically designed for Scouting. Book:👉tinyurl.com/mrjjkwwj

You might be surprised how often we hear people say, “I thought Scouts was just for boys.” Help us spread the word that Scouts is for all young people and that includes girls! #IWD2025 #SkillsForLife #ScoutsCymru100

The first girls joined Scouting in 1976 – today over half of all leaders in Wales are women. Female leaders are crucial in inspiring young people, like Luna, to start and continue their Scouting journey. Thanks to our fab female leaders👏 #IWD2025 #SkillsForLife #ScoutsCymru100

All groups across Wales welcome girls and it’s our ambition to encourage many more to join. Tomorrow is International Women's Day and we thought we’d ask a few girls in Scouting about their experiences. Read more: scoutscymru.org.uk/.../internatio… #IWD25 #SkillsForLife #ScoutsCymru100
