Empowering Youth Starts with Us – And This Toolkit Helps!
We’ve all been there: sitting in a planning meeting wondering, “Are we really listening to young people, or just ticking boxes?”
Or maybe you're the one who wants to step back and give space, but you’re not quite sure how to do so without feeling like you’re abandoning the ship.
That’s where the Toolkit: Adults as Enablers comes in.
Designed especially for adult volunteers in Scouting, this resource is packed with practical tools, reflection prompts, facilitation methods, and real quotes from young people that will make you think (and maybe laugh a little). Whether you're leading a national team or supporting a local group, the toolkit meets you where you are, and helps you grow into the kind of adult who doesn’t just "support youth leadership", but actually makes it possible.
It’s self-guided. Adaptable. Field-tested. And full of things you can start using right away.
Because youth empowerment isn’t just a theory, it’s something we do together, one choice at a time.
