💜 You don't need to have been a Scout.
You don't need to know every knot.
You don't need to be an expert outdoors.
And you don't need to give up every evening.
You just need to be you.

Across South Ribble, people with all sorts of skills give a little of their time to help young people build confidence, make friends, try new things and gain Skills for Life.
As a new term begins, could you join them?
👉 Give volunteering a go. There’s a place for you. https://buff.ly/EE7IULx

A Place to Belong is also a place where your voice is heard. 💜

The Scouts have been getting involved with the Children's Commissioner's The Big Future, sharing their views about the issues that matter to young people and their hopes for the future.

Another brilliant reminder of why listening to young people and giving them opportunities to shape what happens matters.

Oak Eagle Explorers Scouts joined Dame Rachel de Souza, The Children’s Commissioner for England, on Cromer beach this week to have their say in The Big Future survey.

💜 This one's for our volunteers.

Every week, volunteers across South Ribble give their time, skills and energy to make Scouts happen.

So we're getting together to say a very big thank you.

📍 St Mary's Community Centre

Our Volunteer Thank You Social is a chance to catch up, meet volunteers from across the District and enjoy an evening together – no meetings, no agenda, just a chance to celebrate the brilliant people who make Scouts possible.

Whether you've been volunteering for years or you've only just joined us, we'd love to see you there.

💜 What does A Place to Belong look like?

It's being welcomed when you walk through the door. Making a new friend. Having a go at something new. Working together when things get tricky. And celebrating each other's achievements. Across South Ribble, our volunteers create those moments every week. Fun. Friendship. Adventure. Skills for Life. A Place to Belong.
