Scouts
For young people aged 4–25
We're Scouts and everyone is welcome here. Every week, we help almost half a million people aged 4-25 develop skills for life.
Scouts is where young people make friends, have amazing adventures, and learn new skills. Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, abseiling, cycling, and canoeing. But we also get to hang out with friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team, and taking on new challenges.
Everyone's welcome. All genders, race, and backgrounds. Regardless of your physical ability – there's a Scout adventure waiting for you.
Just a few examples of the many things we do
- Kayaking
- Abseiling
- Overseas expeditions
- Photography
- Climbing
- Archery
- Zorbing
- Survival skills
- First aid
- Computer programming

Volunteer with Scouts
Giving back will improve your wellbeing, equip you with skills for the future, and help you make a positive impact on the lives of young people. Whatever your background, identity or ability, there's a volunteer spot with your name on it.
If you can only occasionally help, that's OK. Whether you'd like to be an activity planner, tea-maker, or craft creator, we appreciate any time you can spare.
Our Adult Leaders have helped me through some really hard times in my life and they make everything fun.
