Today, the Scout Association released the results of the 2008 census, showing the number of members of our Movement in the UK.
Analysing the results of the census, The Daily Mail and The Yorkshire Post have reported that we are the fastest growing group in the UK, with over 80 new members last year! No wonder that we need lots more helpers, as Simon Gosden has already said in an earlier story on this site.
Well done to all our leaders forhaving a fantastic programme that is attracting and keeping so many members.And I hope that all of our young people are enjoying every minute of their Scouting.
