We are all dedicated to helping all young people fulfil their potential and become confident, responsible citizens. To achieve this aim, we need to ensure that there are as few barriers as possible to them joining the Movement

Girls have been members of The Scout Association for over 30 years, and today the majority of Groups are mixed. From the 1st January 2007, all Groups should make provision for all young people to be accepted into all Sections.

On this page you will find resources and information that will help you develop mixed Scouting in your Group.

One Movement Working Together

There is a range of resources available to help you develop mixed Socuting in your Group

The One Movement Working Together web site contains information and materials that you will find useful whether your Group is already mixed, or if you are just starting to look at admitting girls from the 1 January 2007. This resource was also sent out as a CD-Rom with the December 2005/January 2006 edition of Scouting.
