Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing. But we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges.

Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your child’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it.

With the support of over 2000 adult volunteers, North Yorkshire Scouts provides skills for life to over 6000 young people in England's largest county. Our county spans major towns and cities such as York, Harrogate, and Scarborough, as well as rural communities in the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks.

There are 12 Districts within North Yorkshire – these are the areas which comprise several Scout Groups within the county. This results in a further subdivide of more than 100 groups offering everyday adventure to young people, both male and female, in almost 500 sections. The sections consist of Squirrel Scouts, Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Explorer Scouts and Scout Network.

The role of the county is to provide support to the districts and groups in a variety of areas, with the ultimate goal of enabling our local volunteers to deliver fun and engaging programmes for their young people.
