SCOUT VALUES & LAWS

The Scout values, law and promise

Everything we do is underpinned by 5 key values:

Integrity

We say what we mean and when we make a promise, we keep it.

Respect

We listen to others, explore our differences and work to find common ground.

Care

Scouts are friends to all and think of others before themselves.

Belief

We believe passionately in improving the lives and life chances of young people and helping them explore and develop their beliefs and attitudes.

Cooperation

Scouting is about teamwork. We believe that when we work together we achieve more than we can on our own

All of our young people and adults also a promise that is relevant to their age and background. They can also be adapted for different beliefs and religions – we include everyone.
