Scouts are do-ers……and give-it-a-go-ers
We question and listen and form wide open minds. We take a deep breath and speak up. We think on our feet. See the big picture. Ignore the butterflies and go for it. We get back up and try again. We think about what’s next and plan for it. We jump in, get muddy, give back and get set.
We’re Scouts and everyone is welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Every week we give almost half a million 6-25 year olds the skills they need for school, college, university, job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams; the skills they need for life.
Sounds fun? Worthwhile? It is. But don’t just take our word for it. Why don’t you join us?

Girlguiding – exceptional experiences for girls
and young women
With guiding girls have fun, adventure and the space to discover their potential. They go to their first ever sleepover, canoe on rivers, learn about body confidence, and lead their own camp. Or sometimes they simply have fun and try new things with friends.
Girls take what they do in guiding with them as they grow up. Everything from working in a team, to taking the lead, to speaking out on issues they care about. It helps them develop the skills and confidence to become the young women they want to be and to make a difference to the world around them.
Girlguiding is well represented with three units meeting at the Speen Scout HQ:
Brownies (age 7-10)
Guides (age 10-14)
Rangers (age 14-18)
