Community Challenge for Scout Groups

This autumn Scouting plans to launch Scout community week. The actual event will take place next spring time.



To help us with our launch work we are looking to find some good case studies of Scout Groups doing some great work in their community. Once we find these groups then we can work up some case studies and use them for both our external and internal communications around the launch of this event.
So if you know of or are involved with Scout Groups that are already doing some great stuff in their community then please drop me a line. All I need is details of the Group and if possible the name and contact details of the GSL or SIC.

Examples of things that would make good case studies are as follows
- Visiting people in hospital
- Renovating children's play areas
- Cleaning up footpaths
- Giving blood (Networkers only I guess)
- Keeping older peoples gardens in order
- Creating eco habitats
- Creating walkways in forested areas
- Delivering goods to those with mobility issues in challenging weather condistions
- Emergency aid teams or support

Please note the above is not an exclusive list
I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance for your help.
