Today on International Youth Day, we’re celebrating the amazing youth leadership that shapes Scouting in Merthyr.

A huge shout‑out to our District Youth Lead Volunteer, who makes sure youth voice leads the way in everything we do — empowering young people, championing their ideas, and strengthening youth influence across our District.

Thank you to every young person who brings energy, creativity and leadership to Merthyr Scouts. You inspire us every day.
