Our Mission

Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

 

Our Scout Values

Our values are at the heart of who we are and what we do:

Integrity
We’re honest, we try to do the right thing (even if no-one’s watching), and we stay true to ourselves.

Respect
We’re thoughtful of people’s feelings and values, treating everyone as we’d like to be treated ourselves.

Care
We’re kind to others, looking after the world we live in.

Belief
We explore our beliefs and attitudes with wide-open minds.

Cooperation
We work with others to change the world for the better, making friends along the way.

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
