Voting and youth movements

Girl guiding Scotland is currently trying to encourage it’s members to vote in the next general election with it’s #MyVoteMatters campain. With only 39% of women between 18 and 35 voting in the last election clearly something needs to be done.

Scottish Scouting has also been involved in politics by visiting the Scottish parliament recently.

The issue is politicians need to be involved and engage  the younger generation as they are the future of this country.

Nicola Sturgeon recently visited her old Brownie Pack to encourage the girls to aim high and be the best that they can.  I think this is a great start but more could be done . You never know asking your local MP etc to come and give a talk , visit a camp or even become an adult helper might help them realise the challenges young people face and help them engage with our counties future.
