Development Weekend
14th January 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 16th January 2022 @ 4:00 pm
2022 is an important year for Mersey Weaver as we focus on development, growth and re-connecting with one another. As we start to emerge from the pandemic, this is also an opportunity to rethink how we organise and deliver Scouting in Mersey Weaver more long term and better serve our communities and young people.
Members of the District Team (DCs, ADCs, GSLs) are invited to come together, network and help author our Development plan for the district for the next 5-10 years. There is the option to stay overnight in the Hideaway or if you prefer, Camp! We appreciate some people will prefer to be day visitors and we are flexible about what people feel most comfortable with and fit around existing commitments but as well as the key Development sessions, we hope you will join us for the social elements of the weekend if you can.
