Skills for Life

As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life. We encourage young people to do more, learn more and be more. Each week, we help over 460,000 young people aged 6-25 enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed, now and in the future.

We think on our feet. See the big picture. Ignore the butterflies and go for it.

Have adventures

History would have you believe it lies only in epic journeys and mighty sacrifices, but we disagree. Because, for Scouts, real adventure doesn’t have to be showy. It doesn’t have to gloat. It doesn’t have to boast.
