Scouting provides young people with fun and challenging opportunities to grow through adventure. It is separated into aged based sections, all of which are focused on developing:
- self respect
- confidence
- leadership
- teamwork
- creativity
- environmental awareness
- community involvement
It’s a program that is based on over a century of Scouting experience from around the world, updated for today. It opens up a world away from screens and it offers experiences that last a lifetime.
