As previoucly shared, HQ are conducting a Membership Count in October, to better understand the current youth membership figures, after the past 18 months effected by COVID-19.

Last week, all GSLs should have received an email inviting them to complete the online form, by 9th October.

Included in the email were details on there of how to delegate the task to Section leaders to complete for their Section too.

The process is very quick and simple. It requires filling in a short online form, which asks for the total number of young people they would consider to be members of the Sections they manage. We’re asking them to please include all of the current members of the sections, even those that are not yet invested. We’re not collecting information about Squirrel numbers at this time.

If you need any additional support to complete this in your Group, please get in touch with Linda DC via: dc@blacktoftbeacon-scouts.org.uk
