Why not join us ahead of our 120th birthday next summer? Be part of something amazing!!

It's our birthday, Scouts! 🎉 🥳 ✨

119 years since the very first experimental Scout camp pitched up on Brownsea Island, Dorset.

We’re so proud of everything our volunteers have done since then to give young people a place to belong. Thank you to you all! 🙌

Scouts is one of the most inclusive groups I've ever worked with. Every child fits, because there isn't a "Scout-shape mould" - fits around you. Come and give us a try and learn ! Spaces for children aged 6-18, and always room for adults who want to try some

Have you taken part? Be heard!

I just took part in The National Conversation to share my views on what it's really like living in our area right now. It's a major UK-wide project by researchers at Oxford University, and it only takes a few minutes. You should have your say too!
