At the Group Scout Leader\u2019s conference I went to last year<\/a>, one of the things talked about was a self review form that had been trialled and was likely to be rolled out across the country. I brought it back with me and thought  it was a good idea.<\/p>\n

However, I kind of forgot about it and it sat on my \u2018to do pile\u2019. Then a month or so ago, it was given out to all the District\u2019s Group Scout Leaders as it is being fully rolled out. Each Group needs to work through it and then we are having a meeting about it in November (I think).<\/p>\n

Its official title is the Scout Group Development Planning Traffic Toolkit! There are 15 sections and each has various criteria. If the ideal criteria is met, you score \u2018Green\u2019, if you are close to the ideal but need some work, you score \u2018Amber\u2019 and if there is a lot of work to do, you score \u2018Red\u2019. Once you\u2019ve gone through all the sections, you again score green, amber or red.<\/p>\n

Yesterday and today I\u2019ve been working on it, and I must admit I had good idea of what our overall score would be. And I was right \u2013 amber. <\/p>\n

To be honest, I\u2019m quite happy with this result as it shows that we as a Group are doing a lot of things right and there are some things where we need to improve. So i need to write up my reasons for the scores, this is so I can show my reasoning to the other Leaders and the Group Executive, and write an action plan. The action plan will be a draft version again so the other Leaders and Executive can add their ideas as well.<\/p>\n

By doing all this, I hope this will enable us to provide better Scouting for all the young people in the Group. I\u2019m glad of this opportunity to do this as it gives us some idea of where we are and where we need to be. Although I\u2019d like to think we\u2019re perfect(!), this does prove that although we are doing some thing properly, we need to address others.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve put a copy of the form here<\/a> so if anyone is interested they can read it.<\/p>\n

Does anyone else, in the UK or elsewhere, do anything similar?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
