Is there a better way to spend a B/H… Reflecting on a great #28thNewport Scout camp, where it all started @BrownseaIslandO!
From Red squirrels to trading post, all with amazing weather, 26 young people enjoying the experience of hammocking on an island!
Brilliant night with our fantastic new intake into the @scouts UK 18-25 Role Pool, getting to know each other and starting the induction process. Can't wait to see the impact they all make 🙌 #YouShape#SkillsForLife
From Governance to Gold Awards, we did it all…
Great to celebrate over 100 young people and 30 volunteers this evening. Top awards, wood badges and a transformation update. It's been a busy year!

Great day yesterday at the @outdoorexpo, even better to see two stands shouting about all things Scouts (@scouts & @bushscout_uk)
Massive thanks to all of the volunteers who organised and supported the stands, an excellent engagement event! Thank you!!
We spent some time with Theo, a Scout with Down's Syndrome, to find out about his experience in Scouts.
If needed, it's important we make adjustments so every young person and volunteer is welcomed and included at Scouts. bit.ly/3PsWFJq#WorldDownSyndromeDay
