Managing our human capital
A small group of leaders from European Scout Associations met from 12 to 14 January in Prague to discuss managing adult resources in Scouting.
A method, 'Affinity diagrams', generated ideas on all aspects of the topic. The ideas were then sorted into different areas and each was discussed fully.
Some of the key needs points noted during the weekend were:
- an overall strategy and plan to manage adult resources will support an association's development
- Scouting must recognise the trends in society in relation to supporting leaders e.g. offering flexibility
- all volunteers must feel valued and well supported in carrying out their role, recognising that each has a personal motivation for being involved
- a professional approach to adult resources is needed as volunteers are one of the association's most valuable assets.
The results will be of interest to associations who have well developed plans for Adult Resources and for associations who recognise the need to do further work in this area..
