Benefits of Scouting
Get Involved with Scouting In Bradford!
It’s not just a young person who benefits from taking part in Scouting; parents and carers can also reap the rewards.
In an independent survey of over 2,000 parents of Scouts, nine out of ten parents said Scouting is worthwhile and nine in ten said their children find Scouting enjoyable.
‘I don’t normally let Thomas carry dinner plates through – he can be clumsy…but when he cooked me a meal from scratch, I was so proud’
As your child progresses through Scouts you should be able to see signs of the impact their Scouting adventure has on them.
Parents tell us Scouting gives their children more confidence, responsibility and a broader set of friends. Scouting can help develop your child’s social skills and encourage self-sufficiency, and gives them access to activities and opportunities that may have been otherwise unavailable to them.
A huge number of parents agreed that since their child joined Scouting family life was easier and they were ‘nicer children to live with’.
‘I think I probably wouldn’t let Ella do as much as she does, but when I see her at Cubs, doing things for herself and with her friends, I’m so impressed. It helps you step back and let them get on with it.’
