Scouts is all about fun, challenges and adventure.

We are the UK’s biggest mixed youth organisation. We change lives by offering 6- to 25-year-olds fun and challenging activities, unique experiences, everyday adventure and the chance to help others so that we make a positive impact in communities. Scouts helps children and young adults reach their full potential. Scouts develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world.

What do Scouts do?

Scouts take part in activities as diverse as kayaking, abseiling, expeditions overseas, photography, climbing and zorbing. As a Scout you can learn survival skills, first aid, computer programming, or even how to fly a plane. There’s something for every young person. It’s a great way to have fun, make friends, get outdoors, express your creativity and experience the wider world.

What do volunteers do?

This everyday adventure is possible thanks to our adult volunteers, who support Scouts in a wide range of roles from working directly with young people, to helping manage a Group, to being a charity Trustee. We help volunteers get the most out of their experiences at Scouts by providing opportunities for adventure, training, fun and friendship.

Fundraising

A Bungee jump by Niall Park (Monday cubs leader) and Andrew Marshall (Assistant beaver leader) On 11th may 2013 at 14.00 Niall and Andrew threw themselves off a 160 ft gantry in an old steel mill with just a piece of elastic tied to their legs This was done to raise funds to help pay for some of our cubs, scouts and explorer scouts go to France for an activity week at a PLG camp in Normandy We all think Niall deserves a few extra sponsors just for overcoming his fear Should you wish to make a donation please see Niall on Monday evenings or Andy on Tuesdays
