Hertford District Scouts

Who we are

We are the UK’s biggest mixed youth organisation. We change lives by offering 6- to 25-year-olds fun and challenging activities, unique experiences, everyday adventure and the chance to help others so that we make a positive impact in communities.

Hertford District Scouts is a local branch of the 'Scouts' we provide activities for 360 young people aged 6 - 18 in six Scout Groups in Hertford, Watton at Stone, Letty Green and Hertford Heath.

Our culture and values

As Scouts, we are guided by these values:

• Integrity - We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal.
• Respect - We have self-respect and respect for others.
• Care - We support others and take care of the world in which we live.
• Belief - We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes.
• Cooperation - We make a positive difference; we cooperate with others and make friends.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

1. We're refining our understanding of who is currently in Scouting, and what groups or communities might be under-represented
2. We're encouraging more people from diverse backgrounds to join and thrive in Scouts
3. We're helping staff and volunteers feel confident in engaging with EDI-related work
4. And we're improving the recruitment of senior volunteers from a diverse range of backgrounds
