Scouting is a worldwide educational movement for young people, which around the world has over 28 million members operating in 216 different Countries. It contributes to the fulfillment of young people by using a progressive and enjoyable values based programme of personal development.
Scouting is also about fun and friendship, learning through doing, developing respect for yourself and for others, valuing the community in which you live and making a positive contribution to society.
The County also owns and runs a modern activity centre at Blackwell Court near Bromsgrove and an adventurous camp site and water activities centre (Pikes Pool) close to Blackwell Court.
