UK Scouting launched this summer the Million Hands campaign. The aim is to have Scouting make a difference in your local, national and international communities tackling four very serious issues chosen directly by youth members of Scouting.
The issues the Million Hands project looks to tackle are:
- Dementia
- Disability
- Mental Wellbeing and Resistance
- Clean Water and Sanitation
Wow. What a list.
Just looking at that with a Leaders eyes, thinking of what to do to tackle those issues in sufficient depth is daunting and I want to say how proud I am that young people in Scouting didn’t choose the easy options. These topics are serious, life changing matters and it’s great our young people chose to challenge themselves in this way
