For Parents & Guardians
What Scouting offers, how to find a group, and what to expect when your child joins.
Education for life
More than an activity
Scouting is a voluntary, non-formal educational movement. Young people learn by doing, work in small teams, develop practical skills and take increasing responsibility with adult support.
Safe from Harm
The Association is still developing its updated safeguarding contact and reporting information. The full updated information is expected by the end of October 2026.
Joining Scouts
Choose the age-based section that is right for your son or ward, identify a Scout Group, and talk to its Leader about registration, meeting days and times, subscription fees and uniform cost.
