Sir, As Courier readers may have noted in recent press coverage, the Scout Association nationally has 51,000 children on waiting lists due to a shortage of volunteers. I would like to highlight the issues we are having at a local level.
The 16th Argyll Scout Group currently offers fun, challenge and adventure to approximately 75 children. We believe in helping our members fulfil their potential by working in teams, learning by doing and thinking for themselves.
We give people of every background the chance to stretch themselves, learn new skills and make lifelong friends.
