Young people help shape the program. The Unit Council Program Planner supports youth-led planning that is active, creative and organised.

Program planning works best when young people have a real voice and leaders provide the right amount of support. A good planner helps turn ideas into a balanced, achievable term.

Plan with young people, not just for them

The Unit Council gives young people a chance to contribute ideas, make decisions and help shape what comes next. That makes the program more relevant, engaging and owned by the Unit.

What a good planner helps you do

• Capture ideas clearly.
• Balance challenge, fun and progression.
• Keep meetings purposeful and active.
• Turn discussion into action.

Why this matters

When young people help plan the program, they are more invested in it. That sense of ownership leads to stronger participation and better Scouting.
