5. Isn't Scouting in decline?

 

No, Scouting is growing and we are the UK's biggest mixed youth organisation. But nationaly there are currently 30,000 young people waiting to join the Scouts but they can't due to a need for adult volenteers to make that adventure possible. You can challange this by helping out. Whatever your skills and availability, there will be some way you can contribute, meaning more young people get to experience the adventure of Scouting.
