Why is the Joining List not run by Groups/Units ?

By running a joining list across the whole district, we ensure that young people can access scouting as quickly as possible, access is not limited to your nearest group only, meaning your young person can enjoy Scouting more quickly. The joining list team regularly reviews the joining list and ensures that young people are on the list for the right section and for the least amount of time. It also allows us to regularly review where there is a need for new or existing provision.
