What you have to do
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 (e.g. 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 (e.g. 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 ESL-YL and Section Leader
This could be done in a virtual meeting too!
