Participation on the life of the scout and guide group

How do you provide each member of the scout unit with the opportunity to take part in planning and evaluating activities?

How your unit decides things creates, for children, a model of how the world works. Explore whether the mechanisms of your unit are shaping a world that works for everyone, a world where everyone is involved and has responsibility.

Discuss the questions and evaluate your unit: name what you already do, evaluate it on the scale 1-6 (1=just by accident, 6=systematicaly and frequently). Based on your answers, Navigator will offer you some tips on how to improve.
