How a Scout Group works:
- We are a community that helps young people to learn positive skills and develop friendships for life.
- Parents/Caregivers/Guardians are an integral part of the Group’s success.
- We are 100% voluntary and self-funding – leaders are not paid.
- We are not a kid-sitting service.
