Scouting is a global, educational youth Movement. In Ceredigion Scouting is organised through the Area Scout Council, which is under the umbrella of the Welsh Scout Council and The Scout Association and has a clear purpose:
Scouting makes a positive contribution to society by helping young people to develop as active members of the community:
* who are self reliant
* who are caring
* who are responsible
* who show commitment
Scouting works well when young people enjoy learning by doing. They do this by:
* taking part in a variety of activities and new experiences
* exploring the outdoors
* participating in teams
* taking responsibility
Our method for giving young people the opportunity to learn by doing is called the Programme. The Programme is a continuous progression of training, activities and awards that covers everything that young people do in Scouting from the age of 6 to 25. More information about Programme
In Scouting, our adults have a responsibility to make sure that the Programme is fun and exciting. We must also make sure that it is safe. The Scout Association's policies, rules, code of behaviour, advice on Child Protection and safety policy are there to ensure our young people stay safe while they enjoy themselves and learn.
Scouting is open to all young people aged 6 to 25 of every faith and background. There are also plenty of opportunities for adults to become involved as Leaders, Assistants or Administrators.
The easiest way is to complete our online form. It will put you in contact with Scouters in Ceredigion who will be able to answer any specific questions.
If you have any further questions, please call the Scout Information Centre on 0845 300 1818.
