We are making a continued effort to create a recruiting holiday programme that will run twice during the Easter school holidays 2009.
Currently we've presented the idea to around 100 year 7 intermediate youth and we're hoping to here more back from them soon.
Frankly though the likelihood of this programme going ahead on schedule is small right now.
What we've done so far is contact two high decile schools on the basis that if we can't get them to try the process out, we won't get it off the ground in the lower decile areas at all. It's a test bed for this year and what we learn we can plough back into next year's effort. Timing hasn't helped us and we're rushing to try and make this happen in a very short time frame.
Mike went into Heaton school on Wednesday and talked to the entire year 7 pupils at the start of their weekly assembly. There was a brief powerpoint with some exciting images from Mudslide 09 as well as other recent Scout events. This went down well and we await action from those parents whose kids badgered them that night. We left behind fliers with information and contact details as well as putting banners like the one above on the Scout site.
We've also contacted Cobham Intermediate and still wait to hear back from them on whether we can talk to their youth or not.
Of course, we'll keep you updated on any progress, thanks for your interest in helping us stage this programme. More news as it happens.
