During lockdown we launched our Scouting at Home badge to help with our fundraising. You can buy the badge here: https://scout.radio/shop/product/scouting-at-home-2020/ Scout Radio receives no external funding, and has to cover our running costs (Insurances, licenses, systems and equipment) by attending events. This year we’ve not had as many events and we’re not sure when they might start up again. So, if you fancy a badge please do consider buying one to help support Scout Radio.

National Events, Reunion

We took the concept of a youth commissioner from a UK Youth Commissioner to having nearly 400 across the UK. In 4 years thats a huge amount of people to be mobilised into roles. We’ve made changes to our bylaws to ensure sure that 50% of the people on our national council are young people Hannah als...
