Welcome to everyday adventure - your communications toolkit
These web pages contains a variety of resources to help you promote Scouting locally. As well as templates for newsletters and presentations, we have also included print ready artwork for advertisements and posters. You can either print these yourself or pass them to a local printer to print for you.
Perhaps the most useful items are the descriptions, straplines and images which can provide the raw ingredients for your own press releases and articles. The images have been sorted into each of the different components of our identity: Adventure, Challenge, Enriching lives, as well as our behaviours: Fun, Friendship, Confident, Inclusive and Trusted. By including a range of images from each of these items in your resources, you will be putting across a positive, accurate and inspiring impression of Scouting.
Note: Copyright permission has been granted for these words and images to be used for genuine Scouting purposes. As far as is possible, parental and Leader permission has been obtained for the young people featured in the images.
