The youth of today are still getting involved with Scouting which is the worlds leading voluntary youth movement. It is equipping the youth of today with the key social, practical and leadership to become well rounded members of society and the face of tomorrow.

Scouting is about fun and personal development: this means promoting the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being of the individual, helping them achieve their full potential. In Scouting, we believe that young people develop best when they are “learning by doing”; when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves.

How can you as parents support us?
How can you as parents support us?
Scouting’s leaders are volunteers who donate around 3 to 4 hours of their time every week to the provision of fun programmes for our youth, we ask that you support them whenever you can. The smooth running of the programmes and the group at large we expect all caregivers of all our youth to occasionally be rostered as parent help, to support the fundraising efforts, and to help out occasionally to keep the building fabric in good condition for following generations.

All our Leaders are volunteers. Not all our leaders attend weekly due to work commitments. Our leaders aren’t super heroes who know “everything’, they are enthusiastic, committed “ordinary” parents like you, we train them to deliver our adventure programmes. Not all our volunteer are leaders, there are many areas you can help in.

What we expect from our leaders:
Overview: The Scouting movement is the world’s largest organisation dedicated to the education and training of young people. The primary responsibility of all adults, parents and caregivers in the movement is the welfare and progress of youth members. The adult leader approval process is to ensure as far as possible that only suitable adults are involved. We have a duty of care to keep youth members safe and protect them from physical and emotional harm.
Adults in Scouting
- Respect the dignity of themselves and others
- Demonstrate a high degree of individual responsibility, recognising that at all times their words and actions are an example to other members.
- Act at all times in accordance with Scouting principles, thereby setting a suitable example for all.
- Do not use the movement to promote their own beliefs, behaviours or practices where these are not compatible with Scouting principles.
- Act with consideration and good judgement in all interpersonal relationships, both inside and outside Scouting.
- Respect everyone’s right to personal privacy at all times. They take special care when sleeping changing of clothing, bathing and ablutions, associated with any activity.
- Avoid unaccompanied and unobserved activities with youth members wherever possible. Remember, “in sight- out of hearing”.
- For their own protection should avoid potentially compromising situations by ensuring, where reasonably possible, that at least 2 adults are in attendance whilst supervising and / or accompanying youth members. It is recognised that in certain circumstances, it may be necessary for an adult, whilst acting responsibly and exercising their “duty of care”, to be alone with a youth member.
- Realise that bullying, physical, verbal or cultural abuse, sexual harassment, neglect, or any other type of abuse, is unacceptable conduct by any member of the movement.
