Did you know? Most of our team had little or no Scouting experience before volunteering! Could you be part of the team? We have roles to suit all availabilities and will support you the whole way. Have a look at https://t.co/Dek6NlEJRa! #SkillsForLife @TimothyKidd

We’re so proud to receive HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Volunteering Award.

The award recognises the difference our volunteers make to young people’s lives and the brilliant support Scouts gave communities throughout the pandemic. https://t.co/eqeuvy49HJ #PlatinumJubileeQAVS

We remember HM The Queen as a respected leader, a beloved monarch and Patron. She was truly a friend to Scouts everywhere. For seventy years, she has stood at our side, encouraging our volunteers and inspiring our young people to learn new skills, help others and shine brightly.

[World Scouting @worldscouting]

Throughout her life, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was an inspiration to young people around the world. Her Majesty embodied the spirit of Scouting and was a role model for the values of voluntary service, kindness, and courage.

[Scouts @scouts]

We’re deeply saddened by the death of Our Patron, HM The Queen. A dedicated supporter of Scouts, Her Majesty has been a peerless role model for our young people. 

Our thoughts are with the Royal Family.
