It’s been a fantastic weekend! Such a pleasure to meet other youth leads from around the country, we shared ideas, best practises and showed extreme passion for this movement we love!

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

We're proud to announce an increase in our youth membership! Our scouts are learning valuable #SkillsForLife that will help them thrive and reach their full potential. #youthshaped #YouthDevelopment #Leadership #Teamwork #Adventure

[North Yorkshire Scouts @NYScouts]

9% growth in youth membership! We're chuffed to bits to see that even more young people have joined us over the last year!

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

Really excited to get going at the HANDS Winter Camp! Can’t wait to see what it has in store! #skillsforlife @NYScouts #youthshaped

Huge congrats to the LPC students @BPPGroup for finishing the exam season! Citius, Altius, Fortius. #lpc #trainee #postgrad #LLM

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

Just completed the core modules of the LPC, with the last exam being an hour ago. What a journey it has been so far, made some great friends and memories. The stress of this course has severely toughened me up, excited to get going again!

Consider joining our awesome team!

I was particularly honoured to have led the renewal of our promise for those attending following the death of our beloved patron. Such a huge moment for everyone, feeling grateful for the opportunities @scouts has provided me!

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

Fantastic weekend at #dalbyforest for @NYScouts very first Ignite Event! Was amazing to see so many scouts on my first outing as CYC! Huge thank you to all our fantastic volunteers for delivering such an immense event!

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

@EssexBarrister The mass media reporting of the Chris Kaba incident is deeply worrying. As a person who’s sibling is on the front line of policing, I genuinely am concerned for their safety and the safety of all officers at this time.

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

Super excited to be able to get started in helping to deliver #youthshaped Scouting across our huge county! Helping to support our fantastic volunteers to deliver those key #skillsforlife for our young people!

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

I'm over the moon to share that my new position as County Youth Commissioner @NYScouts has just become official! It’s a great honour to be able to take up this role, following a legacy of fantastic YC’s whose boots I’m sure will be a challenge to fill.

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

Special day! Never did I think I’d be capable of getting a first class law degree. Class of 2022 has produced the most resilient graduates of our generation, I’ve gained an incredibly talented team of peers to prove it! #graduation #edgehill #classof2022

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

Had the best time @NYScouts County Cub Camp 2022! Finally back and able to run large events, it certainly did not disappoint! Super proud of my Jamboree unit for helping out also!! #youthshaped #NYS #CountyCubCamp2022

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

Had the most incredible weekend at #basecamp22, it was great to meet Youth Commissioner’s from all over the UK (and beyond)! Left me feeling very energetic to carry on helping @scouts to deliver those #skillsforlife. @NYScouts

@beatED @ChloeMilnerWay5 Surely would have been a better idea to mandate the carbon footprint of the food as opposed to the calorie count? Why start an issue when you can solve one quickly!

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

Great first selection day for #uk25wsj unit 41! We dared you all to #dreamwild and you certainly delivered! Looking forward to day 2!

[Bear Grylls OBE @BearGrylls]

On behalf of Scouts, we send a message of solidarity and support to all those in Ukraine. We believe in kindness, care and respect for all. Know that we admire your resilience and courage and send our prayers for a de-escalation of the crisis and a peaceful resolution. 🙏🏻

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

Happy #FoundersDay day! I always like to reflect on the last year of experiences, whilst looking forward to the opportunities which scouting presents. What it does remind me is how honoured and lucky I am to be part of such an amazing organisation. #YouthShaped #SkillsforLife

[James Porter @JimDPorter]

Great weekend at Yarnfield for the #UK25WSJ leaders weekend! We got to see the launch of the #YouthShaped brand, we can’t wait to share it with our units and the world! #DreamWild @UKContingent

[James Porter @JimDPorter]
