About this cause

We offer Scouting to Wiveliscombe and the surrounding area. Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. We currently have 53 youth members and a great team of devoted volunteer leaders, always looking for more youth and adult members. The opportunity to camp is a fundamental part of Scouting, as a great deal of the programme involves the outdoors. Camps also provide the perfect opportunity to test some of the skills learnt through Scouting. In August 2018, Wiveliscombe Scouts will attend, Big Camp 2018 (name still undecided) at the Bath and West Showground, amongst Scout Groups across Somerset.

How this cause brings people in the community together

It will allow the young people of the community in the Scouts to have an improved camping experience, providing more opportunities for anyone who may wish to join the movement locally. It will also help publicise scouting in the area, to encourage more members, increasing the range of activities we can offer the Scouts.
