We are dedicated to providing fantastic fun activities, traditional scouting skills and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Adventure is at the heart of everything we do. It is the single most important thing that sets Scouts apart. Explorer scouts are at the top end of the Youth sections, so the adventures get even bigger! Through the everyday adventure of Scouting, young people and adult volunt
eers regularly experience new challenges that enrich their lives. Scouting helps young people gain skills for life, including social skills, teamwork, leadership and confidence. Not to mention traditional scouting skills like lighting fires and pitching tents! Our volunteers also enjoy the benefits of Scouting by learning new skills, making new friends and enjoying a social life with a purpose. There are hundreds of different volunteer roles on offer, from management positions, running activities to behind the scenes roles like driving the minibus or painting and decorating. Our varied and exciting programme offers hundreds of activities, from camping and hiking to surfing and paragliding. Young people can also achieve badges by acquiring new skills, like pioneering; or undertaking hobbies like the chefs badge or martial arts badge, and by completing personal challenges to gain top awards. Scouting is a unique adventure that’s full of surprises.
