It has been announced that the New Digital Tools will be available to Leaders in our County from the 28thNovember 2024

Timeline for our new digital system

  • Thursday 7 November: Compass will go offline and be unavailable for all volunteers to allow us to migrate your data, and will continue to be offline up to the go-live of the new digital system
  • Thursday 21 November: Early Adopter Counties / Areas / Regions will start to gain access to the new digital system
  • Thursday 28 November: All other Counties / Areas / Regions will start to gain access to the new digital system

There will be a rolling programme with leaders getting an email from HQ asking them to “log on “and create themselves an account.

Before this date Compass will be frozen so we need to make sure we have got everything that we can updated and manual systems in place to continue Scouting during the freeze

Get ready for change

Warwickshire will start to gain access to our new digital system from Thursday 28 November.

There are a couple of simple changes that all Counties should be implementing now:

It will all be very new and different for everyone but I am sure we will get used to it very quickly

There is a email address : Transforamtion@warwickshirescouts.org.uk which you will be able to send in queries and we have a team of people who will be able to help

There is lots of training being offered to everyone – use this link to get you started

As always , any questions please get in touch

What else do I need to do?

Updating your Trustee Boards

Last year, our Executive Committees became Trustee Boards.

Trustee Boards will focus on governance activities. Support activities (such as fundraising, premises management or administration) currently led by Executive Committees will move to other teams in the Group, District and County.

From April 2024 onwards there are further changes, so all Groups, Districts and County need to be taking actions now, and at their next AGM, to update Trustee Boards.

All about Transformation

Since 2018, we’ve spoken to more than 10,000 people inside and outside of our movement. People told us we need to be more welcoming and make volunteering feel positive, so it’s not like more work. We need our learning to be engaging and create useful digital tools to help get things done.

Currently, volunteering at Scouts doesn’t always suit how people want to volunteer. They want to volunteer flexibly, by committing the time they have and being part of a team.

We believe by addressing these issues it will help us to:

  • Recruit more volunteers and retain current ones
  • Make volunteering at Scouts feel rewarding for everyone
  • Consistently and safely deliver a better programme
  • Make sure that more young people are gaining skills for life

What are we doing

We’re transforming volunteering at Scouts to make it easier, more enjoyable and rewarding. We’ll be rolling out changes in phases to help us:

  • Give a warmer welcome for everyone
  • Deliver better learning
  • Simplify how we volunteer together

All of which needs to be supported by easy-to-use digital tools.

Our Volunteering Culture

A shared understanding for what we do and say as volunteers in Scouts, supporting each other, following our values and being at our best, while acting as role models for young people.
