Glenn from the Regional Services team highlighted the need for the support team to be visible, not only at events like Reunion but in other way through the support material

It’s no good having a new adult in place if there’s no support there to back them up

The teams were keen for adults to come forward if there was anything they needed a hand with, from adult training to sourcing new leaders and resources, as well as financial help for Scouts and adults to participate fully.

FLAGGS’ National Unit Manager Rob explained how they can help

We work closely with the specialist advance team to provide support and guidance to adult…we can use our wealth of experience to help you deal with LGBT issues.
