USING YOUR AWARD TELLING THE MEDIA Now that you have completed your Chief Scout’s Platinum, Chief Scout’s Diamond or Queen’s Scout Award we all need to shout about it. We don’t expect you to do it on your own so your local Media Development Managers (MDMs) or someone within your District or County/ Area/ Region may be able to help. They will know the best places to get your stories heard and your achievements seen. Your MDM will have a press release template and will make direct contact with you to find out about the challenging activities that you have completed to achieve the award. If you do not know who your MDM is, speak with your Explorer Scout Leader or District Scout Network Commissioner, who will advise you. BOOSTING YOUR CV Achieving any of the awards is definitely something you should highlight on your CV. The award is widely recognised and well regarded by tutors and employers. Including it in your CV demonstrates to a potential employer, school or college that you are committed, motivated and possess leadership skills. It will help you stand out from the crowd. Instead of simply stating ‘I have my XXX Award’ on your CV you could write: ‘I have successfully completed the highest award in Scouting, the culmination of many years of progressive learning.’ This demonstrates the amount of work and commitment entailed, identify the skills that you can show from having worked on these awards and how these transfer into the rest of your life. Don’t forget to include it in your personal statement on your UCAS application form, showing that you have gained awards which are listed within the Education Information Profile list, more information available at www.qips.ucas.com. The Get Ahead guide (https://members.scouts.org.uk/getahead) offers you advice on how you can use the skills you have gained from completing the award in your future career. WHAT NEXT After completing your QSA, there are other opportunities open to youth members in Scouting and it is worth thinking about what your next personal challenge will be. You could undertake another award, for example the Gold DofE (https://members.scouts.org.uk/dofe), Explorer Belt (https://members.scouts.org.uk/explorerbelt) or Scouts of the World Award (https://members.scouts.org.uk/sowa) if you haven’t already completed them. If you also have a passion for the outdoor elements of the award and are interested in leading adventure for younger members, you could have a look at gaining permits too, check out the Youth in Adventure resources at https://members.scouts.org.uk/youthinadventure for more information. WHO CAN HELP? Completing the Chief Scout’s Platinum, Chief Scout’s Diamond or Queen’s Scout Award is a personal challenge but you shouldn’t feel like you’re on your own. There are people out there in your Scout Districts and Counties, Areas or Regions who will be happy and able to help you along the way. 22 How to Sign Off on your Award in Dorset: Now that you have successfully completed all of the requirements for your award, logged your comments from assessors, and given a presentation, your leader or Commissioner needs to approve the award.

  • The Full Strategic Plan
    SCOUTING FOR ALL OUR 2014–18 STRATEGY scouts.org.uk/2018 THE CHALLENGE AHEAD Scouting is already one of the greatest movements the world has ever known. Scouts have walked on the moon, rowed across oceans, scaled the highest mountains. They have been prime ministers and Oscar winners, authors and inventors, World Cup heroes and scientists. Our former Scouts are also social workers, teachers and foster parents: the people who make society work. Scouts are all around you. You will know them by their values: cooperation, respect and integrity that they learnt when they were young. When they memorised the Scout Promise on a cold Thursday night, they were not just joining a youth club, they were choosing a code which many would follow throughout their lives. They were making a choice to live a meaningful life, full of fun, adventure and friendship and to put others before themselves. This strategy sets out a plan to make Scouting available to the next generation of young people. Today we have 434,000 youth members following eight years of growth. By 2018 we want to bring Scouting to at least half a million young people and attract enough volunteers to help us do this. We want to prove that Scouting is more relevant today than ever and has the ability to transform lives. We want to extend our reach even further so every young person in the UK has the opportunity to experience Scouting. We are open to all regardless of faith, gender, sexual orientation, race or social background. In fact Scouting is valued most and has its biggest impact in the most deprived parts of the country1.

  • Tales from the Scout Hut Although It's Now October and the Summer
    Tales from the Scout Hut Although it’s now October and the summer seems a long time ago, for many of us the week at the Kent International Jamboree 2017 at Detling is still fresh in our minds and with many fantastic memories. In fact, you may have seen some of the Scouts around the village wearing their Jamboree t-shirts and hoodies for weeks afterwards! We had rain, sun, blocked toilets, a weeks’ worth of fantastic international food and made new friends – well, there were 6000 of us from 25 countries, so no shortage of people to meet. The week kicked off on Sunday with ‘Bear in the Air!’ The Chief Scout, Bear Grylls traditionally takes to the air in a helicopter for a weekend in the summer to visit as many international camps as possible and KIJ was the first on list! Everyone in the group got the chance to see him when he visited our Subcamp stage, Interamerica. For two of our Leaders, Liv and Eleanor who were with the International Service Team at KIJ, it was a very special visit as Bear presented them with the Chief Scouts Personal Award. They received this award for their actions when, as two 17 year old Explorer Scouts, they were the first on the scene of a road traffic collision at Shatterling last Autumn and organised the emergency response and looked after the injured until the emergency services arrived on site. It was a very special honour to receive the award from the Chief Scout himself and later in August he named them his #August Scouting heroes on social media.

  • New World Scout Ambassador Bear Grylls Launches the Largest Global Youth Mobilisation for the Sdgs
    New World Scout Ambassador Bear Grylls Launches the Largest Global Youth Mobilisation for the SDGs 16 November 2018, New York: Millions of young people around the world know Bear Grylls as a Global adventurer, TV host, and best-selling author with a passion for Scouting. Now, as the new Chief Ambassador for the entire global Scout Movement, Bear is getting behind an unprecedented mobilisation of 50 million Scouts to improve the sustainability of our planet. Today, the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) announced Bear as its new Chief Ambassador, making him the first public figure to be named for the role. Bear has been the youngest-ever Chief Scout in the United Kingdom for nearly a decade, leading the way during a period of sustained growth. In his new role as Chief Ambassador, Bear will continue that effort on the world stage by acting as a global voice for youth education and inspiring Scouts to create positive change in their communities. “I’m very proud and humbled to take on this new role as Chief Ambassador of World Scouting and continue to promote the great work Scouting is doing across the globe. Scouting is a worldwide force for good that unites young people with positive values and an adventurous spirit,” says Bear. “We aim to make a difference in our communities, help young people learn new skills, and be kind to all people.” As one of his first acts as Chief Ambassador, Bear was on hand for an event at the United Nations headquarters today to launch Scouts for SDGs – a mobilisation of 50 million Scouts to make the world’s largest coordinated youth contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

  • 23 World Scout Jamboree – Japan 2015 Dear
    23rd World Scout Jamboree – Japan 2015 Dear Leader, We hope that you will consider applying for a position in the leadership teams to represent GLSW at the 23rd World Scout Jamboree to be held in Japan in 2015. There are a minimum of 5 Leader positions available (1 Unit Leader, 1 Deputy Unit Leader and 3 Assistant Unit Leaders). We have put in a request for more patrols and final numbers will be confirmed to us at the end of March. There is the possibility that we will be working in conjunction with patrols from other Counties or from GirlGuiding UK. We are sure that a large number of adults will want to take part in this event so role descriptions and person specifications have been produced to highlight what the roles entail and the skills and experiences we are looking for. Please study these documents carefully and do send an application in. The selection panel are keen that every adult in GLSW that wants to apply should do so, and consider the Jamboree experience a development opportunity for adults as much as for young people. As such the County has committed to contributing 75 per cent of the leader fee to attend the Jamboree. Any other costs (training camps, socials, clothing etc) will not be covered. When you apply please make sure you read and complete the application form carefully. Because we anticipate a large number of applications we will use what you write in your application form as the basis on which to make a decision about inviting you to selection.
