Programme Zone: Community Service

The Community Service Programme Zone is all about contributing something of your skills and time to help individuals or the community outside your immediate circle of family and friends. Community Service works best and is most rewarding when it benefits both the Member and the community.

It is important to recognise that not all your colleagues in the Scout Network will have either the skills or desire to get involved in long-term or especially challenging community projects. Group projects can be very helpful here, and have the added benefit of providing an opportunity for group discussion of the shared experience. Community Service can be either a group or an individual project, depending on the interests of your Unit and the needs of the community.

How the Community Service Programme Zone benefits young people

The benefits to young people who take part in Community Service projects include:

  • learning new skills
  • developing a better understanding of different people
  • knowing you have made a difference to individuals and the community
  • increasing your self-esteem
  • allowin you to confront and conquer your fears and prejudices.

Programme Zone: Ideas database

We will soon be launching an ideas database, containing programme ideas that you may find useful planning activities from this Zone.
