Balanced Programme Updates
The relevant areas of the Explorer Scout pages have been changed to reflect the updates to the Balanced Programme. The Programme Zones have been changed and the information about the resources has been updated. There is still some art work 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 Explorer Scout Supplement or by contacting the Scout Information Centre.
