• Supporting Groups & Districts. Works with Scout Groups and Districts to develop and implement their own growth plans, encouraging teamwork and coordination at both District and National levels.
• Growth Monitoring & Evaluation. Collects and analyses progress reports from Districts, evaluates national growth and recommends adjustments to development goals where necessary.
• Expansion of Scouting. Develops appropriate methodologies and supports the establishment of new Scout Groups, helping extend the reach of Scouting to more young people and communities.
