Any other information you want to include? The purpose of scouting is to contribute to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials, as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities. We still hold the original values that Baden Powell set down when the movement started in 1907. Our group is open to both girls and boys and offer a wide range of activities and have our own camp site that is under continuous development in the North York Moors. We have a chief scout who is a high profile adventurer called Bear Grylls.
