Throughout the UK, every week over 400,000 young people aged 4+ gather at groups across the UK to learn skills for life.
One of the most powerful skills Scouts develop is the courage to speak up—to challenge indifference and stand for what’s right. Yet, while their impact in local communities is profound, it’s not always visible or celebrated in the media.
