Basingstoke West Scouts

basingstoke west scouts are currently helping almost 1000 young people in the west of basingstoke develop the skills they need to succeed in life. as part of the wider scouting family we believe that young people develop most when they are 'learning by doing,'​ when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves. we also offer adventure to adults, and there are a wide variety of roles and opportunities available to those who want to get involved. our chief scout is bear grylls: 'two things matter in life: following your dreams and looking after your friends. this is what i love about scouting. it’s about doing great things, loving and enjoying the great adventures and helping others to do the same.'​
