Good listening is vital at home and at work. Some 94 per cent of those with a view believe active listening is important in creating a productive work environment.
The good news is that Scouts in Northumberland are leading the way in this area.
Over 90 per cent of UK adults say that the Scouts are helping young people to develop this important skill by working together with different kinds of people in small teams.
