Growing Scouting

Scouting provides huge benefits to the young people who take part, giving them opportunities to build skills for life, make friends and have fun! We’re working to grow Scouting even further, to ensure every young person has the opportunity to get involved in Scouting. On this page we’ve outlined the resources and support we have for Growing Scouting in Scotland.

Poverty Proofing Scouting

Families across Scotland will be facing the challenge of rising costs more and more over the next year. Our challenge as volunteers – no matter our role – is to make sure cost is never a barrier to young people participating in Scouts.
