We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

We believe in preparing young people with Skills for Life. We encourage young people to do more, learn more and be more. Each week, we help over 6,330 young people across Cambridgeshire enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed, now and in the future.

 

Welcome to Cambridgeshire Scouts

We provide 6,850 young people the chance to develop important #SkillsforLife supported by around 2,100 amazing volunteers.

We change lives by offering young people (girls and boys) aged 4 to 25 years from all cultures and backgrounds fun, challenging activities and personal development that make a positive impact in local communities.

Whether it’s fire lighting or camping at the Copley Campsite, canoeing on the River Gt. Ouse, navigating across the Fens, taking part in a sleepover at one of our Scout HQs, learning new skills or simply making new friends then Cambridgeshire is a fantastic place to Scout.

Get engaged with a Global development project. There are many good projects established in parts of the World that need our help. Such Scout projects as fundraising for Mosquito nets in Africa and supporting Scouts re-establish in Albania. We have sent equipment to these Scouts where equipment and funds are scarce. We can help engagement with these and many other projects that are making a positive change with our support.
