"Keeping Youth Members Engaged in supporting transition into the next section"
Within each section explain transition to the new section to increase the Youth Members understanding
Create and enable a "Family Culture" within the Group, some suggestions may include: Annual Group/ Family Activity, End of year family camp/ BBQ/ Campfire/ Carols
Plan and implement cross sectional activities so that the younger sections get to meet and see the older sections
Consider biannual whole group meetings - all sections same time, same night
Ensure the going up ceremony is memorable and appropriate for the Youth Member
Consider 'term transition ceremonies' so Youth Members go up in a group as opposed to individuals
Make the going up ceremony exciting!
Leaders from the Youth Member's previous section phone the parents 3 months after moving to see how the Youth Member is going and share this with Leaders and Group Council
Highlight the excitement of the next section: new opportunities, new friends, exciting activities
Consider introducing a Parent Liaison role within your Group Committee - this person can support: Welcoming new parents to the Group, Support parents as their child transitions, Lead and develop a parent patrol that links to the new section
Develop a transition pack for each section highlighting the opportunities in the news section whilst also noting: Opportunities, Activities, Increased leadership responsibility for their Youth Member, Meeting times and upcoming program, Any change in costs
Provide parents with a copy of the Unit Code for the section their Youth Member is going too
Takes the opportunity to reinforce "One Program"
Discuss the transition ceremony and the role the parents play
