Beverley and Hornsea District Youth Forum: Young Voices in Action

The 2nd Beverley and Hornsea District Youth Forum brought Cubs and Scouts together at Leven Scout Hut to share their ideas, opinions, and visions for the future of Scouting in our District.

“It was brilliant to see so many enthusiastic young people sharing their ideas and taking the lead in shaping the future of Scouting in our District.”
— Katie and Chris, District Youth Leads

Young People Taking the Lead

The Forum wasn’t just about talking—it was about doing. Cubs and Scouts helped run games, lead activities, and share their ideas in action. The event was full of energy, laughter, and creativity, showing exactly how Scouting can be shaped by its young people.

Katie and Chris added:

“Their enthusiasm and ideas will help make our programmes even more fun and engaging in the year ahead.”

The Beverley and Hornsea District Youth Forum is a perfect example of how listening to young people can shape the future of Scouting. The ideas shared during the day will inspire activities, camps, and events across the District for months to come.
