The annual census is due to be taken with numbers as at 31^st January and all sections must pass their numbers and names to their GSL or District Secretary/Commissioner in sufficient time to allow the data to be entered on to the national census database.

This is an important set of statistics for the Scout Association as it helps us reflect on our growth, penetration levels in the population and also reflects the age profile and  make up of our groups and districts which in turn can reflect in support including grants and other financial support.

Please submit the relevant figures as soon as possible and thank you to all who process the information at the different stages.
