Scouting offers challenge and adventure to 400,000 young people aged 4-25 in the UK. We believe in helping our Members fulfil their potential by working in teams, learning by doing and thinking for themselves. We're working to make Scouting a

vailable to all and we're passionate about what we do. Through the adventure of Scouting, young people get to take risks in a safe environment, and have their first taste of responsibility. The sort of adventure Scouting offers is the chance to experience something different and the opportunity to challenge yourself. When a Beaver Scout wakes up the morning after a sleepover, or Cub Scout has just got over her fear of heights by completing her first abseil - that’s adventure. In Scouting, we provide over 200 activities from abseiling to zorbing (that’s falling out of the sky in a foam ball in case you were wondering). If we don’t have an instructor who can help we can normally find someone who can. But Scouting isn’t just about activities for their own sake. We encourage our young people to feel the buzz of the challenge and then reflect on what that means. Do they feel more confident? Would they do it again? All this is made possible by the efforts of 100,000 voluntary adult leaders. With award winning training and one-to-one support, we make sure that each one of our volunteers gets to make best use of their skills and talents. It’s something different from the norm, and that why a lot of people like it. In fact, it’s what’s made us the largest co-educational youth Movement in the country.

Our Trustees do vital work behind the scenes in making sure that our sections run safely and securely, and makes sure that our group is financial stable and able to provide amazing activities for all our young people.

A massive thank you to Dom, Mark, Tom, Ghassan, and Lesley for all the support you provide the Group Lead Volunteers and Section Teams.

If you have experience supporting charities, making sure organisations follow good practice, or know how to raise funds for groups, why not reach out to see whether you could support Scouting at Preston Central?

Last weekend, our Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts, enjoyed a fun-filled but slightly chilly weekend at our Group Camp last weekend

With more than 30 young people in attendance, this was our largest camp ever! 🥳🎉 Our young people got up to so much, including giant pioneering, grass sledging, fire starting, nature walks, wide games, campfire singing, and much much more. 🏕️🪢🛷👨‍🎤
