Scout Fellowship has changed! Following a period of consultation and review, Scout Active Support becomes the new
name from September 2009. Scout Active Support Units are:

• Practical
• Supportive
• Pro-active
• Adaptable
• Sociable
• Approachable

Why the new name?

The Fellowship has played an important role in The Scout Association for over 30 years and Scout Active Support will continue this tradition. In fact, over the last ten years, the phrase Active Support has run across all Fellowship communications, whether in the magazine, online, on resources or on merchandise. Although it is a new name, for this reason it should not feel new. It also describes the service Fellowship offers today much more accurately - a dynamic and practical support framework for local Scouting.

The new structure

'The new name, Scout Active Support, we hope, is much more reflective of what these valuable groups of adults actually do - provide great support to local Scouting. As a concept, active support is not something new, and it is essential we keep the elements that are working well from Fellowship.'
Glenn Walker, UK Adviser Scout Active Support

What is happening in Slough?

Well... we have been very fortunate to have a very successful fellowship in Slough for many years, and with this in mind we want to see this success carry on into our New SAS section. At this point we are building a new team of people to delivery the new Slough SAS. This team is being lead by our Deputy District Commissioner Mark Foster, and if you want to join this team or you just want to be a member of the SAS please contact Mark here: Join Scout Active Support
