Ashdown District Scouts
#SkillsForLife
Scouting supports nearly half a million people each week. It’s a place to be yourself and be part of something. Our ongoing goal is to help even more people find a place to belong. Every young person in Scouts is building the skills, character and confidence they need to thrive. Through adventurous experiences, global awareness and meaningful opportunities to lead, they develop a strong sense of identity and purpose. Young people are not just shaped by Scouts; they are the ones shaping it.
Scouting has been running since 1907, and the demand for young people to join the movement is ever-increasing! You can become a member from the age of 4. Whether you are a Squirrel, Beaver, Cub, Scout, Explorer, Network or an Adult volunteer, Scouting is a good place to find fun and adventure!
