1st Prestonpans Guides were the first unit to get the Generation CashBack project badges for taking part in a teambuilding games session. If your Guide or Ranger unit wants to get involved with a new leadership/teambuilding opportunity, or if you want to know more, get in touch😀

The YA had great discussions around skills needed for the event, what our strengths and weaknesses are. How each of us can support & empower each other to make this @CashBackScot consortium event one to remember #GCB #CB4C 2/2 – at Falkirk, Scotland

Fabulous day with @CashBackScot consortium #Reach25 advisors. Today, the team smashed programme planning, event workshop choices, entertaining ideas, loads of laughs, awesome chats & decisions to get delegates connecting, think about change & climate action #CB4C #GCB #iLead – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Spent the day with @ScoutsScotland learning about how the CashBack project is run in Scouting and how they support their groups with ASN and mental health. I’ve come away with lots of new ideas (and a new badge!) #CB4C

It's #ChallengePoverty week. We’re joining organisations across Scotland calling for an equal Scotland free from poverty.
Hear from volunteers that are part of the Cashback project on the impact it has had on their units 👇

I visited a Guide unit in Paisley to deliver #OwnOurZone. We chatted about what makes public spaces safe/unsafe and then created a perfect town. We had clean, accessible public toilets, safe waiting spaces at stations, loads of lights and bins, dog friendly places and much more!

Today, along with @Together_sacr, we are celebrating an amazing milestone for children’s rights in Scotland 🎉 The commencement of the #UNCRCScotland act after over a decade of campaigning. We are excited to see what this means for the future of Scotland & keeping #RightsOnTrack.

#GenerationCashBack works to make sure all young people can thrive, especially those living in areas that lack opportunities🤝
Last year #GCB engaged 3401 young people (98.5% from SIMD 1-5)🌟

ALT On a purple background is a white graphic arrow with blue text that reads, 'It's changed the way I want to see myself in the future. I would love to continue on to more volunteering, doing more youth work sessions...I feel like I could still learn more, and I feel very encouraged to do that as well. --Young person from a GCB programme.' At the bottom, the logos for Generation CashBack, Girlguiding Scotland, The Boys' Brigade Scotland, Scouts Scotland, Youth Scotland and CashBack for Communities sit in a white bar.
I visited Forres Rangers to run a Dream Design session. We looked at sustainable materials (including milk fabric!), Ranger uniform through the ages and chatted about how clothes can be deisgned to work for different disabilities and needs, before creating our own uniforms! #CB4C
