ScoutsCymru is one of the largest mixed volunteer-led movements for young people in Wales. At present ScoutsCymru, supported by over 5000 volunteers, currently provides over 14,000 young people across Wales the opportunity to develop skills for life. We are proud to be a part of a worldwide family of Scouts and are committed to supporting our members throughout Wales.
Scouting is open to everyone, all races, genders, abilities and faiths. Above all, Scouting exists solely to make young people’s lives better, helping them to realise their full potential, encouraging them to make their voices heard and providing them with the skills they need to succeed in life.
Our strategy for 2018-2025 aims to support and empower our volunteers to deliver an amazing programme to our young people, enabling us to continue our work in contributing to a better society.
Our volunteers work with our young people delivering balanced programmes of varied activities with a strong focus on the outdoors. We help our young people to understand and live by the values of belief, respect, integrity, care and co-operation. We are an inclusive movement and work hard to remove any barriers to participating in Scouting.
The Scouting programme gives young people and adults the chance to try new and adventurous activities, develop confidence through doing and feeling valued. Scouts are famous for their outdoor activities, learning how to care for at the same time making the most of what our world has to offer.
