Hello and welcome to the home
page of Scouting for Wokingham. Believe it or not Scouting is still
very much alive in Wokingham and enjoyed by nearly 600 young people. Of
course this number is only a very small percentage of the young people
who live in Wokingham but as a competing activity with so many other
activities we are pretty popular.
Scouting offers so much to both
young people and adults alike. Admittedly most of our adults work hard
for the young people but many also offer help as and when they can.
Wokingham Scouts has survived
the last century thanks to the dedication of its leaders and helpers. In
order for it to survive another century we need new and continued
support. Scouting does change with the times in order to keep the young
people interested and this we do quite well in Wokingham.
For adults in Scouting it is not
all one sided: adults, helpers and parents can also get something out
of Scouting, there are many social aspects, new challenges, new skills
to be learnt, having a go at activities you never thought you would, the
list goes on. Often the leadership skills learnt through Scouting can
greatly benefit adults in their careers.
If you would like to help but
are too busy to make a regular commitment, have a look at the
How to Help page and
there is also the Scout
Fellowship who offer support on a regular basis as well as
arranging much needed social events for Scouters across Wokingham.
For those who are looking for a
place in Scouting for their young person, have a look on the
Groups page.

you are interested in getting something out of scouting for yourself
