Scouts: Preparing young people with skills for life
Every week, Scouts give almost half a million 4-25 year olds the skills they need for school and beyond, from college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life. Here at 224 North London Air Scout Group, we’re proud to have almost 100 members across our Beavers, Cubs and Scout sections, ranging in age from 6 to over 14 learning all kinds of skills.
We focus on building teamwork, leadership, and resilience – skills that have helped Scouts become everything from teachers and social workers to astronauts and Olympians!
Everyone is Welcome
Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your young person’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it. Diversity, Inclusivity, Equity and Belonging is at the heart of the Scouts movement and we want to ensure all young people feel that they belong in the Scouts.
As part of a worldwide movement, we’re dedicated to creating stronger communities and inspiring positive futures for everyone involved.
What Do Scouts Get Up To?
Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing. But, we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges. In addition to camping, 224 North London Air Scouts have gone gliding, scuba diving, paracending, indoor skydiving, sailing, kayaking, climbing, and more.
Get Involved as a Volunteer!
There are lots of ways you can get involved, from helping out occasionally on a parent rota or volunteering your time as a leader to supporting the 224 North London Air Scouts. Our volunteering opportunities are as varied as you! Because whether you’re helping a leader to run an activity at the Scout Hut, organising a night away, or buttering 120 slices of bread for a group of very hungry eleven year olds – no two Scout meetings are the same. The difference you make, though, is always great.
The Scouting Association has an award-winning training scheme for volunteers which means that adults get as much from Scouts as young people. The approach focuses on what you want to get out of volunteering with Scouts, while respecting how much time you can offer. Over 90% of Scout volunteers say that their skills and experiences have been useful in their work or personal life.
