City of York Scouts

Welcome to York Scouts, where young people across the city are discovering adventure, friendship, and confidence through Scouting. From their first nights under canvas to learning practical skills for everyday life, we support young people to try new things, build resilience, and have fun in a safe, inclusive environment led by dedicated local volunteers.

As part of the wider Scout movement, York Scouts works with groups across the district to deliver exciting programmes, community projects, and outdoor experiences that help young people develop skills for life. Whether you’re a parent looking for opportunities for your child, an adult interested in volunteering, or a supporter of youth development in York, you’ll find out how Scouting continues to make a positive difference in our communities.
