Youth Forum Jan 2021

The last year was a long, complex and challenging time for our entire Scouting family. Everyone across Mersey Weaver are continuing to monitor the situation closely and make sure we can continue to scout safely.

The most important thing is for us to have opportunities see one another and ensure the voices of our young people are still heard and recognised.

To support this we will be hosting a series of Youth Forums open to all Scouts, Explorers and Young Leaders in Mersey Weaver hosted by our District Youth Commissioner, Jake. The next Youth Forum is Scheduled to be on Saturday 16th January at 2pm

Please book on by the 15th January and you will be sent a link
