Updated written style guide
13/01/2012
Please be aware, the information in this article is no longer current.
To stay relevant and to keep communication clear for the newest of members the style guide for The Scout Association has been updated into a comprehensive guide.
The style guide exists with the intention of promoting accuracy and consistency throughout The Association’s written communications, not just from HQ but locally too. The style guide aims to encourage a recognisable family style, and establish standard good practice. The style guide should be regarded as a set of guidelines; it is not intended to ‘cramp your style’.
Anything with a publication date of 1 January 2012 onwards will reflect the new style guide while existing books and resources will be updated when they are being reviewed.
Please share the guide with members of your team who regularly write communications for Scouting in your area. For queries, questions or clarifications contact styleguide@scouts.org.uk.
