Scouts

In the Scouts we have a saying: "You only get one childhood. Make it count."

We celebrate difference

We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more.

We believe in bringing people together. We celebrate difference and stand against intolerance today, tomorrow and every day.

Leaders of the future

We develop the leaders of the future: nearly half a million of them in the UK and 50 million worldwide, taking part in Scouting adventures each week. We teach skills, not just tent pitching, but teamwork, resilience and tenacity – the stuff that makes the difference.
