We are the UK's biggest mixed youth organisation. We change lives by offering 6 to 25-year-olds fun and challenging activities, unique experiences, everyday adventure and the chance to help others so that we make a positive impact in communities.

Adventure is at the heart of everything we do. It is the single most important thing that sets Scouts apart.
The Dorking Scouts offers fun and everyday adventure to 600 young people between the ages of 6 and 25 across the Dorking area in Surrey.
The main goal is to help young people achieve their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as Members of their local, national and international communities.
It’s exciting being involved with us. We believe that through the everyday adventure of Scouting, young people and adult volunteers regularly experience new challenges that enrich their lives.
We offer hundreds of activities, as diverse as kayaking, abseiling, staged performance, paragliding, and archery. There’s something for every young person, whatever their physical ability.
How our programme works
Every young person in Scouting enjoys a balanced programme of activities, events and experiences, based around subject areas we call Programme Zones.
The zones vary slightly depending on which of our sections the young person is in, but they cover a huge range of activities, from outdoor and physical pursuits to community involvement, creative expression and learning about the wider world.
Together we help Scouts get the most out of their Scouting experience by including elements from as many zones as possible within the activities on offer. And, the older they get, the more input young people themselves have in their own programme.
Hiking in the dark. Travelling across Poland with just a backpack and three friends. Spending the first night away from home, the opportunities are endless!
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.
As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life.
We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more.
We believe in bringing people together. We celebrate diversity and stand against intolerance, always.
We’re a worldwide movement, creating stronger communities and inspiring positive futures.
