Scouts is all about young people, and youth shaped Scouts is our way of reminding everyone to keep y We know that Scouts empowers young people.

They learn to ask the big questions, play their part, and think for themselves. It can help them to build confidence in themselves and stand up for what they believe in. As Scouts evolves, we want young people to take an active part in shaping their activities, getting involved with governance, creating a culture, and being the face of Scouts. The importance of youth shaped:
Scouts is a movement for and about young people, and each young person in our movement has a lot to offer the world. As a volunteer, you have the unique opportunity to support them to develop the skills they need to succeed; youth shaped Scouts is the best way to do that. The UN’s first priority for their Youth 2030 plan is to ‘Amplify youth voices for the promotion of a peaceful, just and sustainable world’. We believe in our young peoples’ voices: youth shaped is the best way to make sure they’re heard. Young people are the future of the world and they’re already making a difference. As an organisation, we’re committed to helping our young people get ready to become our future leaders.

This ❤️

A place to try. A place to get it wrong. A place to try again. 💜

At Scouts, young people make friends, discover what they’re capable of and take on adventures with people cheering them on every step of the way.

It’s not about being the best. It’s about doing your best – and being yourself while you do it.

From Squirrels to Explorers, that’s what belonging looks like across South Ribble.

👇 What did Scouts give you the confidence to try? We’d love to hear.

Bring what you’re good at. We’ll support you every step of the way.

A place where everyone belongs.

💜 A place to belong is…

Somewhere you're welcomed.
Somewhere you can be yourself.
Somewhere you make friends.
Somewhere you're encouraged to have a go.

For thousands of young people and volunteers, that place is Scouts.

It’s a place where young people can be themselves, feel valued and gain skills for life. And it’s a place where our volunteers can find friendship, purpose and a team they belong to as well.

Whoever you are. Whatever your background. There’s a place for you in Scouts.
