The Luton Scout Media Team continued building on the vision of Media being driven by the Young People of Luton.

They join the Young Spokes persons of the first Young Spokes Person Course in October 2017.

Luton Members, Stephen Avis from Griffin Unit Explorer Sea Scout Unit, Rafaella Oliveira from Riparian Explorer Sea Scout Unit, Andrew Wilmer from the 1st Luton Sea Scouts, Hajirah Khan, Leeya Hussain, Hamnah Baig from Beech Hill.

Leaders Alsha Ahmed, Leader in Beech Hill and David Colclough, Luton Scouts Media Team and Luton YSP Coordinator also attended

YSP member Emily Baker was a member of the course support team along with DC’s Libby Bassam, Mark Webb plus Sue Law, Peter Sutherst, Chris Foster (Fozzy), Gerald Law, David Mott from the Bedfordshire World Jamboree 2019 Leader Team.
Special guest was Justin Dealey, presenter and reporter for Three Counties Radio who was pleased to present stories and answer questions about Media and his work..

The focus of Media on behalf of Scouting in Luton is important. To have these young people presenting the Luton Scouting Story will benefit the Movements image in the minds of the local community.

An extract from Emily’s comments “I attended the first ever Luton YSP course last October. I wouldn’t necessarily say that I was timid but at the beginning of the course I didn’t know anyone and so I kept quiet. ………………………………………………………………………………………… I can honestly say that it could have been way better, but that’s the beauty of a course such as this one. It gives you a safe place to make those mistakes before you go off into the real world.
Being able to see the confidence boost the experience of the new YSPs made me realise the true impact that Scouting in general and this course in particular had on me. This made me so proud of myself and the others around me.”
