Module A is all about preparing to take on the challenge of being a Young Leader, so it was really positive to start everyone’s YL journey off on a good footing! 🙌🏻

While the course might have been slightly last minute, it was great to bring together 20 Young Leaders from across Lagan District and South East Antrim District. ⚜️

The first collaboration between the two Districts, and certainly will not be the last! Thank you to all who led and supported the event! 👀

Joining over 1,600 people from across the UK and Overseas, it was a very special event to be able to join the Scouts NI Contingent to thank and celebrate the extraordinary service made by adult award holders. ⚜️

We were so pleased to have four Silver Wolf and two Silver Acorn recipients in attendance from Lagan. 🙌🏻

Hi everyone, my apologies for the late message.
The AV Management Committee have advised that certain areas of Ardnavally are not to be used due to poor ground conditions. They are:
1. The path from the top campsite to the valley campsites.
2. The valley campsites.
3. The Tennis Court.
4. The Orchard.

If anyone feels the need to use the above areas they need to submit a full risk assesment to me explaining the reasons why. My hope is that common sense will prevail until ground conditions improve.

As the annual Trustee Week comes to an end for 2025, we reflect on the roles, remits and responsibilities that each of our trustees take on at District level and across our Scout Groups to ensure good governance. 🤝

Reflecting on our Trustee Board within Lagan District Scouts, we are indebted to the passionate, committed and knowledgeable trustees, who truly work to ensure that Lagan District continues to operate effectively and efficiently in line with our organisational purpose, mission and values. 👥🗣️

Today, we say thank you to all trustees across the District and the Scout Groups for all the work completed in the background to support our Lead Volunteers and their teams. 🙌🏻

𝐋𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 - 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐀 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 ⚜️

This week, we recommenced our Young Leader programme within Lagan District Scouts, starting with Module A at Ardnavally Scout Centre. 🏕️

With 14 in attendance from across our Groups in Lagan, we kickstarted the evening with a welcome from the Chief Volunteer of Scouts NI, Stephen Bell, who dropped in and talked about the importance of the scheme. From there, we went on to discuss the role of a Young Leader and placing it into context of having a meaningful experience while volunteering safely. 🙌🏻

A great night of discussion with plenty of energy and enthusiasm! We really look forward to sharing our dates for when the Young Leader weekend will be in early 2026! ⚜️
