The relevant areas of the Programme pages have been changed to reflect the updates to the Balanced Programme. The Programme Zones and Challenge Badges have been changed and the information about the resources has been updated. There is some art work still to update, which will be done in the coming weeks.

More information about the updates to the Balanced Programme can be found in the December/January issue of your section's Supplement or by contacting the Scout Information Centre.

At the beginning of the year, new resources were published to support the updates to the Balanced Programme. These have proved to be a success, particularly the new Programme Plus resources.
