Scouting can play an important role in supporting mental health and well-being. Across the county, mental health is at the forefront of many volunteers' minds, especially given the trauma every young person and volunteer has gone through during covid. Our team are here to help to support volunteers and young people across the county to understand all aspects of mental health and give guidance for supporting development of good mental health and wellbeing in our members.
