Introduction

As part of the h2g2 Reports, an ongoing series of balanced Entries that started in 2001, this document is intended to take a look at the Scouts volunteer group and perform three tasks:

• Examine the situation as it stands.
• Identify any areas for potential improvement.
• Make suggestions to form a basis for addressing the report's findings.

While this document takes its lead from the last Scout Report from 2001, it does not assume that you have read it - indeed, it reproduces material from it as appropriate. However, this Report is likely to be more practically useful than the first, by virtue of the fact that an analysis of progress over the period between the two Reports is possible.
