The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement by Scouts Scotland of a brand new programme for young people who are aged four and five, known as Squirrel Scouts; recognises that the Squirrel programme builds on a successful pilot project, which was evaluated by the Centre for Research in Early Childhood and was shown to have had a positive impact on children’s development, especially in the areas of communication and language skills, and life skills; congratulates Scouts Scotland for prioritising the roll-out of new groups, Squirrel Dreys, in areas most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and looks forward to new Squirrel Scouts learning new skills for life and earning new badges.
