A Million Hands
As Scouts, we’re always striving to leave the world a little better than we found it.
Over the last one hundred years, the issues we’ve tackled have evolved and changed, but our young people’s drive to make a positive impact remains constant.
Participating in our A Million Hands programme is one way Scouts can take action and achieve their Community Impact Staged Activity Badge. It provides ready-made activities and programme ideas centred on six national themes, chosen by our young people themselves.
Playing your part starts in your local hall
Throughout history, Scouts have always broken down barriers. Now, we want to empower more young people to take a stand. To raise their voices and stand tall, closing the gaps between people and generations. Most importantly, we want to gift them with the confidence and skills they need to recognise their ability and go out in the world blazing a trail.
Our volunteers have seen it happen before. And when it happens to your young person, you’ll know, too. Because something will stir. And just like George, a volunteer from 4th Poulton-le-Fylde – you’ll step back and see them thinking: ‘Wow, I can really do something here, and I’m only eight!’ And then they’ll go out and do it, and you’ll know that it’s just the beginning.
