All enquiries regarding places in Groups or Units are managed through a centralised system to help us direct you to the most appropriate group for your location and needs. Some of our Groups are oversubscribed and therefore waiting times for a place to become available may be longer. Whereas for other groups and units there may not be a wait for a place to open up. The benefits of Scouting are well known with a recent study showing that people who have been Scouts as a child have better mental health in later life and parents say Scouting gives their children more confidence, responsibility, a broader set of friends, a chance to pursue things they might not get to do otherwise, adventure and an extended family. Why not give it a go and join the adventure?

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
