As a parent of a child in Scouting, we would like to welcome you to the Scouting family. We know that you play a big part in your child’s involvement in Scouting, through both practical help and encouragement.

We would therefore like to say a big THANK YOU for all you do and hope that the following information is useful to you.

If your child is not yet in Scouting and you are looking for some joining information please go to Be a Scout!

Whether your child is new to Scouting, or has been a Member for some time, you will find information here about what Scouting is, the latest news, tips on how you can make your child’s adventure a memorable one, and last but not least, find out how you can get involved with Scouting.

One of 28 million!

Your child is now one of a family of 28 million young people in 216 countries and territories who join in the fun and adventure of Scouting every week. The experiences your son or daughter has as a Scout are likely to stay with them for the rest of their lives.

If you are interested in everything from the weekly meeting of your child’s patrol to an international camp, you can find in here all you need to know to make the best of it for your child.
