Scouting Activities

Activities are an integral part of Scouting, and they are what makes it so exciting for the young people involved.

Scouting as a whole undertakes activities from abseiling to canoeing; gang shows to mountain biking; orienteering to sailing – and so on! For a list of activities Scouts can do, please see the Activities A-Z on the UK Scout Association’s website.
