Mental Health
Scouting can play an important role in supporting mental health and well-being. Across the District, mental health is at the forefront of many volunteers’ minds, especially given the trauma every young person and volunteer has gone through during covid. We are here to help to support volunteers and young people a to understand all aspects of mental health and give guidance for supporting development of good mental health and wellbeing in our members.
Information for Parents and Carers

Supporting People with Additional Needs
At Scouts, we have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to support the participation of young people or volunteers with additional needs.
