The Coronation weekend (6-8 May) is now just over a month away. The Coronation of HM The King will be an incredibly special moment for people across the UK and Commonwealth, and a time of great celebration and unity.
It'll also be an opportunity for us to reflect on our promise to help other people, which is central to our Scouts values.
The Coronation of HM The King will be on Saturday 6 May, and the celebration will continue throughout the weekend.
Welcome everyone..
...to the website for the parents of our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
Scouting is all about fun, challenges and adventure. Scouts helps children and young adults reach their full potential. Scouting develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world.
Adventure is at the heart of everything we do. It is the single most important thing that sets Scouts apart. Every young person in Scouting enjoys a balanced programme of activities, events and experiences. Activities are an integral part of Scouting. But as well as being challenging physically, our activities help young people set and achieve goals and grow in confidence.

You're in Good Hands.
When I became Chief Scout in 2009, it was one of the proudest moments of my life.
With every passing day since, I've become even more inspired by the dedication of our leaders and volunteers, who tirelessly prepare young people with skills for life.
