Picture from District Conference showing a group of scout leaders sitting listening to Nigel White

What a brilliant event at the recent City of York District Conference. To everyone who gave up their time to be there or provided input – in whatever capacity, however long you’ve been part of Scouting – thank you.

Together we talked openly about strategy and direction, shared the themes emerging from right across the District, and worked through what comes next for York Scouts. Out of those conversations came something valuable: specific areas to focus on that we’ll take forward together.

Keeping Scouting strong takes real commitment, and it’s easy to feel like the path ahead isn’t always clear. The conference was about tackling that – turning shared ideas into plans everyone can get behind, so no one has to guess where we seek to put our energy.

The outputs and draft plans are now on the District intranet. Please take a few minutes to read through them, see where your team fits, and think about the part you’d like to play. This is your plan as much as anyone’s.

The conversation has started – now let’s build on it, together.
