Not only has scouting grown locally (as some of you know we have been helping set up another Group, which means we have helped around 50 more boys and girls as well as 8 new leaders come and join the fun) but nationally too, which is great news.
Sadly the waiting list has also grown, to 51,000 boys and girls across England and Wales. In most cases (including ours!) the ONLY real barrier is not enough volunteer adults coming forward - despite so many keen to see their sons and daughters join the adventure.
