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.

We are saddened to hear of the death of HRH Prince Philip. A great supporter of young people, each year many of our members take part in the @DofE Award scheme he founded. We are extremely thankful for the opportunities it has given us and thousands of others

It’s with great sadness that we acknowledge the death of our Patron HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, he will be sadly missed.

Every year on February 22, we take time to commemorate the history of Scouts and thank those who make it possible.

This February 22 – after what’s been a bit of a rubbish year – we want to double the gratitude we show. Find out how you can get involved https://t.co/LyHClLFJg9

Your participants can still continue with their Physical section at home. #PEwithjoe is a great way to keep fit and tick off the Physical section.

There's never been a more important time to recognise and support young people. Which is why we are introducing the 2020 #DofE Certificate of Achievement for participants who complete their Skills, Volunteering and Physical sections by the end of 2020.

#HelloYellow is back!

Showing young people they’re not alone with their mental health has never been more important.

So on 9-10 October, wear yellow in your home, school or office and together we can look out for one another and feel hopeful about the future. 💛

This #TGIWeekender photo from one of our 17th Whitley Bay Beaver Scouts really makes us smile 😀 Have a great afternoon everyone! #BeHappy #KindnessRocks #whitleyBayScouts #SkillsForLife @UKScouting

A big well done to all the #ExplorerScouts who took part in #Gilwell24 and #TGIWeekender - we hope you had a great weekend! 👍 Thanks @gilwell24 @UKScouting #SkillsForLife

[Gilwell 24 @gilwell24]

You made it! 24 hours of fun! One last thing for you to do - a survivor selfie. As is tradition at Gilwell 24, all those that made it through the night need to take a selfie and compare it to how they looked 24 hours prior. Tag yours #G24SurvivorSelfie #Gilwell24 #TGIWeekender

[Gilwell 24 @gilwell24]

Climate change is such an important topic for young people and none more so than Hattie, one of @wwf_uk's Youth Ambassadors. We spent 10 minutes chatting to her to find out more. You can watch over on our Facebook at 11am. #Gilwell24 #TGIWeekender

[Gilwell 24 @gilwell24]

If we were not in 2020, we would be here... Thanks to everyone who's staying safe & keeping us safe!
