Mission Statement
Our aims, methods and values
Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
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.
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.
