Scouting is inclusive!

On Wednesday 6th November there was an all Inclusive Empowerment Fayre at the Crossfield Hall Romsey. The event for service users and their carers was also attended by Vanessa from Hampshire Scouts and Portia, Ali and John from Romsey's special needs advisory group (SNAG).
There weren't many people expressing an interest in joining Scouts but all those that were there are now aware that Scouting is inclusive and available to both boys and girls.
Useful contacts were made with other exhibitors, so the day was worthwhile and we will be attending other similar events in the future.
There is a badge to symbolise inclusive Scouting?  Does anyone wear this on their uniform in Romsey District?
And talking of badges, this Tuesday 19th November at Romsey Town Hall many youngsters from Beavers, Cubs and Scouts will be receiving their Chief Scouts Awards.
