Everyone is welcome
Scouting actively engages and supports young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
We act with care, respect, integrity, cooperation, exploring our own and others’ beliefs.
As a movement, we have grown for the last 13 years. We want to continue that positive trend, bringing skills for life to more young people across the UK.
