The announcement has gone down well with the young people who are living Scouting today, as well as the volunteers who lead them.

Since the announcement attracted a flurry of National media interest including stories in many National Newspapers, coverage on BBC Breakfast and many television channels, and a number of radio interviews with Bear Grylls and a number of young people, an increase of 800% in the number of interested young people and adults wanting to join has been recorded in Conwy.
