About us
Who we are
As Scouts, we believe in empowering young people with skills for life. We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more.
We question and listen and form wide open minds. We take a deep breath and speak up. We think on our feet. See the big picture. Ignore the butterflies and go for it. We get back up and try again. We think about what’s next, and plan for it. We jump in, get muddy, give back and get set.
We’re Scouts and everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Every week we give over 6,500 4-25 year olds across Clyde Region the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.
All of this is only possible thanks to our team of adult volunteers, who support Scouts in a wide range of roles from working directly with young people, to helping manage a local community-based Group, to being a charity Trustee. We help volunteers get the most out of their experiences at Scouts by giving them opportunities for adventure, training, fun and friendship.
Our approach focuses on what you want to get out of volunteering with Scouts, while respecting how much time you can offer. Over 90% of Scout volunteers say that their skills and experiences have been useful in their work or personal life.
