Dates for your 2019 Diary!
Put these dates in your Diaries NOW!!
On Sunday 2 June 2019, the County plans a litter-pick across the entire Scouting County of North Yorkshire to mark the beginning of Volunteers’ Week.
It’s hoped that Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, adult helpers, supporters and leaders from every section in every Scouting District of the County will collect litter on this day showing Scouts cleaning up North Yorkshire and our community spirit at its very best. A uniformed badge will be given to all young members who take part, for which there will be a competition to design an appropriate badge.
The impact we could have across the County is considerable and so all Districts and Groups are requested to engage fully with this exciting initiative and to avoid all local Scouting activities on Sunday 2 June 2019.
Following the litter-pick and throughout the following week, which is National Volunteers’ Week, the County will embark on a dedicated recruitment campaign for young members and leaders. Once again, it’s hoped that all Districts and Groups will take part in this campaign at the same time to maximise impact and to achieve some amazing results.
No excuses and plenty of time to plan these events into your programmes, so put these dates in your diary NOW!

Monday 3 to Friday 7 June 2019
