This website has been set up to present information and on occasion to share a viewpoint. It is hoped that this may help clarify aspects of our current situation, it may also raise questions and provoke discussion. Group Councils as well as the County and Provincial Support Teams are the correct vehicles to explore issues and to seek solutions within our organisation. If what gets posted here seems relevant to you then please discuss it with other Scouters, and take it up at meetings of your Group, County and Province.
