It was good to meet a group of Scouts from North Wales at today's ScoutsCymru Welsh Youth Parliament in partnership with WCIA. The event provided young people the opportunity to experience what it’s like to be an MS for the day & learn about the democratic process in Wales.

‘The power, the vision and the potential is in this room…’Inspirational opening speakers today at #YouthWorkWales2025 conference. Comisiynydd Plant | Children's Commissioner Wales Rocio Cifuentes

‘….we created something beautiful, our voices were heard…’ A moving & heartfelt poem by Anya an inspirational young person sharing their experience with Frân Wen describing the power of creative arts in building confidence & community cohesion. #youthworkconference25

‘Young people don’t need to be given a voice, we already have one, we just need safe spaces where we can use it’. Powerful words from Molly at #youthworkconference25 Love Your Period Campaign

And that’s a wrap for the 2025 Youth Work Conference Wales. A huge thank you to CWVYS for an inspiring, informative, reflective and thought provoking day. A great privilege to be part of the rich and vibrant youth sector in Wales. Now let’s dance!

The first girls joined Scouting in 1976 – today over half of all leaders in Wales are women. Female leaders are crucial in inspiring young people, like Luna, to start and continue their Scouting journey. Thanks to our fab female leaders👏 #IWD2025 #SkillsForLife #ScoutsCymru100

You might be surprised how often we hear people say, “I thought Scouts was just for boys.” Help us spread the word that Scouts is for all young people and that includes girls! #IWD2025 #SkillsForLife #ScoutsCymru100
