Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
As scouts we are guided by these values
Integrity – We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal
Respect – We have self-respect and respect for others
Care – We support others and take care of the world in which we live
Belief- We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes
Co-operation – We make a positive difference; we co-operate with others and make friends
The scout method
Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of scouting and:
- enjoy what they are doing and have fun
- take part in activities indoors and outdoors
- learn by doing
- share in spiritual reflection
- take responsibility and make choices
- undertake new and challenging activities
- make and live by their promise
