On 18th October Waveney based Scouts joined MP Peter Aldous along with 150 Scouts and Scout leaders from across the UK at the Speaker’s reception. The event, hosted by the All Party Parliamentary Scout Group and the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow MP, is a prestigious opportunity for young people in Scouting to experience meeting with their own and other MPs in the House of Commons to talk about the challenges facing Scouting, such as the lack of adult volunteers.

Mr Aldous said,

“I was delighted to meet some of the Scouts from Waveney and that they were given the opportunity to attend such a special event. It is clear that Scouting continues to be relevant, providing young people the chance to try out new adventures, from hiking to snowboarding to working within their local communities.”
