Youth Shaped Month is here!
#YouShape month is back for February and a time to celebrate Youth Shaped Scouting in Suffolk.
Youth Shaped Scouting isn’t a new concept, it’s been around since Baden Powell’s time. It is a fundamental of what we do in Scouting!
Youth Shaped Scouting is:
Young people (aged 6-25) shaping and influencing their Scouting adventure, working in partnership with adult leaders!
This YouShape month we want to celebrate even more and even louder!
We would like to ask EVERY group to participate!

Commissioner's Corner - 'Sup Suffolk - Dec-2018
Hello Suffolk,
What a busy autumn term we have all had! As always you, our volunteers, have been busy providing opportunities for Suffolk’s young people in a plethora of ways. Sections, Groups and Districts have been making the most of the milder autumn conditions by getting young people outside as much as possible and enjoying all that this season has to offer.
Wolsey District Scouts and Sudbury’s Cubs both took part in scouting skills days in their respective districts in which many new skills were developed. Sudbury Explorers took part in the Sudbury Jailbreak, which is an awesome large scale 24 hour hide and seek event in which Explorers must not get caught. In Deben, 1st Saxmundham Cubs enjoyed a hike from Thorpeness to Aldeburgh despite it being a terribly windy night along the coast.
