The day will include:

  • Inspiring keynote sessions from national guest speakers.
  • Interactive workshops.

  • Networking with volunteers from a wide range of counties and roles.

West Mercia is looking to send a contingent of around 10 volunteers who Scout within our County.

We’re particularly looking for volunteers from the following roles:

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers who are keen to learn, share ideas and help shape the future of Scouting across West Mercia.

Following the conference, we’d like members of our contingent to play an active role in planning and delivering our next County GLV Day, planned for early 2027, by sharing the ideas, learning and inspiration gained from the conference.
