So what are we doing in Hull?

We always try and encourage young people to be involved in decision making. It might be about choosing what game to play at a weekly meeting, talking about what they would like to do from week to week, or where to hold the camp next summer.

Our growth has continued since the merger of the three Hull districts back in 2012. We have focused on developing groups, delivering a high quality programme and making sure that we remain relevant.

We get out into communities, attending public and civic events, showing off Scouting. Events we have been involved in include National Play Days, the Humber Car Show and the East Yorkshire Show.

We have opened a number of new groups in areas previously not represented by Scouting. This gives more young people the opportunity to be involved and experience our great adventure.

We work with all communities, looking at opportunities to offer Scouting in these areas. We have worked with the Polish community in Hull and have also held meetings with the Muslim community, looking at how they can help us develop Scouting in the City.

As a team, we lead by example. We are visible and available to support our groups and the volunteers that run them. We try to make sure that all groups really do 'do their best'.
