Mission 3: Planning

Take the section’s programme ideas to a programme planning meeting.

This mission should include:

• asking the young people in the section to contribute their ideas to the programme
• capturing the ideas and suggestions from the young people and exploring how these could be incorporated into their programme
• attending and contributing to a meeting (eg programme planning meeting, leaders’ meeting, District, County/ Region or Area meeting)

To complete this mission, you could:

• attend a section planning meeting
• plan and run a meeting (eg section planning forum or running activities from the YouShape resources)
• decide who should attend a meeting and invite them along
• organise and run a forum for the young people in your section, gathering their ideas and suggestions, and feeding these back to the section leader
• organise for someone to take notes, minutes or points of action
• plan and run the Sixers’ or Patrol Leaders’ forum, ensuring that the young people in the section understand how they can input their ideas into the section programme
• any other ideas, subject to agreement with the Explorer Scout Leader – Young Leaders and Section Leader
