This is a momentous weekend for our nation, but it’s also wonderful to see our Scouts UK Youth Commissioner Team and Nations Youth Commissioners all together for the first time. Together they ensure young people have an active voice and opportunities to take the lead every week

Did you catch #thebighelpout and @thescouts on BBC Breakfast this morning? Head along to your local volunteering opportunity this morning and tag us in your activity! thebighelpout.org.uk

Print copy of my article in the The Daily Telegraph - @TheBigHelpOut23 is about more than one day. It’s about a legacy of volunteering, which requires a collective commitment from Government, business and voluntary organisations.

TRH The Prince and Princess of Wales with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis all lent a hand today at 3rd Upton for #TheBigHelpOut. Everyone got involved with renovating the Scouts meeting place and received their own #TheBigHelpOut badge.

Oh my days. This is glorious! #thebighelpout

Follow your ideas through to completion. Listen to your critics but don’t let perfection be the enemy of good. And always work with talented people who are fun and share your vision. Thanks to everyone who made the @TheBigHelpOut23 such a success. We’ll be back! #TheBigHelpOut

UPDATED: Final Poll suggests an incredible 6.5million people took part in #TheBigHelpOut and a staggering 10.4 million are more likely to volunteer because of events like @TheBigHelpOut23 🎯🎯🎯

Chief Scout, Bear Grylls OBE, writes about how opportunities to develop resilience, teamwork and leadership skills should be available to all young people. New research from Demos shows how skills learned in Scouts are crucial for employability. mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-…

We're very sorry to hear that Lord Michael Baden-Powell, 4th Baron Baden-Powell of Gilwell, has passed away. He was the grandson of the Founder of Scouting, Robert Baden-Powell and was a great friend and supporter of the Scout movement. Our thoughts are with his family.

If you’re a member of the UK Scouts Council (including all County Youth Commissioners!) be sure to cast your important vote now in this years election 🇬🇧 Good luck to everyone who has put themselves forward 👏🏼

Fantastic coverage on ITV News of all those going to the World Scout Jamboree 25th WSJ ⁦UK Contingent 🇬🇧⚜️⁩ itv.com/news/2023-07-2…

Such a great thing to do to develop #SkillsForLife 👏🏼 - these young people will always remember this experience; in my opinion one of the most worthwhile experiences we can offer Well done and hope you’ll be able to facilitate it again in the future for more young people 🏕️
