At Stroud Valley Scouts, our values guide everything we do — from weekly meetings and exciting activities to how we support families and contribute to our local community. We believe Scouting should help every young person gain skills for life while making a positive difference to the world around them.
Our values are derived from those officially published by The Scouts Association. You can learn more using the links below to the Scouts UK website — or read on to explore how we express these values within Stroud Valley Scouts.
We act with honesty, responsibility and respect. Young people learn to make good decisions, take ownership of their actions and support one another — qualities that help them in school, work and life.
We treat everyone with kindness and understanding. Stroud Valley Scouts welcomes young people and adults from all backgrounds and abilities. Everyone has a place here, and everyone is valued.
We look after ourselves, each other and the environment. Our group teaches practical skills alongside empathy, teamwork and wellbeing. We encourage young people to help their local community, protect nature and act responsibly.
We help young people discover what they believe in — about themselves and the world. Through challenges, reflection and achievement, we support young people to gain confidence, self-belief and motivation.
We work together to achieve more. From team games to big group projects, Scouting teaches collaboration, leadership and communication. We celebrate teamwork and the power of helping others.
