Empowering young people

Scouts supports nearly half a million people each week. It’s a place to be yourself and be part of something. Our new strategy is about helping even more people find a place to belong.

Since 2018, the start of the last strategy, we’ve supported well over a million young people. We’ve also learnt a great deal. Change needs time, patience and support, balanced with the need to keep delivering an excellent Programme week to week. We need to keep safety as our highest priority and leave space for the unexpected.

Vitally, we need to double down on the support we give to our volunteers who make Scouts possible.
