Quote from an Explorer Scout, April 2012

One of the most powerful ways to understand adventure is through sharing stories from our Members and supporters.

‘My best outdoor adventure was probably at the 21st World Scout Jamboree. We went to a massive lake and went out on rafts, open canoes and also did some windsurfing. I learnt to sail with a Scout from Ecuador. We didn’t understand each other’s language, but by the end we were practically best friends.’

Lauren, 17, Explorer Scout

Quote from a Beaver Scout, March 2012

One of the most powerful ways to understand adventure is through sharing stories from our Members and supporters.

‘This year we went to see a coastguard helicopter. All the Beavers got to go inside and we all had great fun. I wanted to fly it, but they wouldn’t let me - not yet!’
