6th Gosport (Rowner) Air Scout Group
Young People
We want to redevelop the grounds at our HQ to allow our young people to enjoy the outdoors and make a positive impact on the neighbourhood.
About this cause
Scouting offers challenge and adventure to 400,000 young people and 100,000 adults across the UK. We do some pretty amazing things in Scouting, but for us, adventure is a way of life and not just an activity or expedition. Our Scouts grow in confidence by trying out new skills and stretching themselves. Whether it’s an Explorer trying out his French on an international trip or a Scout leading his Patrol for the first time, each time we challenge ourselves, it’s a step forward. When a Scout stands up to a bully, or sticks up for what they believe in; that’s an adventure.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The Grounds are currently ugly and a complete overhaul of them would benefit not only us, but the entire community, we would encourage wildlife and we would hold open days to allow people to see our work. It would also reduce anti-social behaviour in allowing young people to have something to do.
