The Chief Scouts' Advance Party Report - Implementation

Implementation

Following the publication of the Report a further document called Design for Scouting was published, outlining which of the Advance Party's recommendations had been accepted by the Committee of the Council. Only a few of the proposals were amended. Notably, it was decided against the deletion of "On my honour" from the Scout Promise; this obviated the need for the first of the proposed eight Scout Laws, leaving only seven. The suggestion that the Wood Badge insignia (for adult leader training) be replaced by a cloth emblem was also not adopted.

The first changes to be implemented were the adoption of the new Laws and Promises in October 1966 followed in May 1967 by the formal name chnge from The Boy Scouts' Association to The Scout Association. In October of that year, the new uniform was introduced along with the new training schemes, including the launch of the Venture Scout section.
