YOU
help other to
find Adventure
young people develop through activities which are fun, challenging and adventurous.
Adventure is at the core of Scouting, and the Association passionately believes in helping their
Members fulfill their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials by working in teams, learning by doing and thinking for themselves.
Over 200 activities are offered by Scouting around the UK, made possible by the efforts of 100,000 adult volunteers. This has helped make Scouting the largest co-educational youth Movement in the country.
One of the challenges that the Scout Movement faces is finding more volunteers to plug the current gap. At present there are around 30,000 young people on waiting lists in the UK.
Adults working in UK Scouting contribute in excess of 295 million hours of voluntary work each year to their local communities. That equates to a staggering £1,793,600,000 worth of their time, even worked out at minimum wage.
The number of volunteers working for UK Scouting is bigger than the combined workforces of the BBC (24,000) and McDonalds (67,000) put together.
Scouting in Darlington is alive and kicking with Groups around the town, and at Middleton-St-George and Hurworth, though extra help is always welcome.
