• Actively work with other adults in the Group to support and promote Group or multi-section activities and events.
• Agree how you can support the Section Assistants to ensure regular opportunities are provided for young people to express their views on the programme and running on the Section, and that those views are taken into account (for example using Log Chews, Pack, Troop, Sixer or Patrol Leader forums, or any other method).
Please note that Beavers currently meet via zoom and not at the school hall due to current covid restrictions. We may be meeting like this for a while although if and when we are allowed we will try and meet up in a park. It is possible we may meet occasionally on a Saturday but only when suitable for everyone.
