Scouting Projects
By being a part of Scouts' Campfire Circle, you will be showing your support for the work of Scouting, and helping the valuable work of The Scout Association through a wide variety of projects.
Working to bring communities together...
In an ever-diversifying population, Scouting is striving to meet the needs of all communities. Your contribution could help create new Groups such as the 1st Clithero Scout Group, which was formed to bring together different local communities and encourage greater cultural awareness and understanding.
Providing training and development for young people
Each year, the Insight training weekend brings together young people from around the UK and gives them the opportunity to voice their opinions on some of the issues that face them in their everyday lives. They can leave knowing that they've contributed to future Scouting policy and with a set of skills that will prove invaluable in later life. Your contribution could help fund this fantastic resource for young people.
Activities for all
Our national Scout Activity Centres at Gilwell Park, Baden-Powell House, Downe and Youlbury offer fantastic accommodation and activity opportunities for young people of all ages and backgrounds. With some of the best outdoor facilities in the UK, our trained instructors ensure hundreds of young visitors enjoy events packed with challenge. Your contribution could help our sites continue to provide a safe, friendly environment for young people to experience an outdoor adventure.
