Help for Section Leaders

You may not be aware of two useful sources of help with meetings and programme – and with assistance on Scouting questions in general, and in an emergency.

Firstly, there is the Scout Information Centre, run from Gilwell – If you’re looking for Scouting advice, support and guidance contact the scout information centre team by email or phone, 8am-7pm weekdays, 9am-12noon Saturdays. 0845 300 1818 / info.centre@scouts.org.uk or use the website – http://www.scouts.org.uk/contactus (If you need to contact the out of hours duty officer in an emergency, please call 07977 539 630)

Secondly, there is a Facebook resource – Scouting Leader Help For Cubs Beavers Scouts Pack Meetings – which is an online forum where leaders, stuck for a progamme idea or how to make something work, can ask other leaders for help. And it works, too – this post is as a result of GLN leaders mentioning it to me, and how useful it it.

Both sites worth bookmarking.
