Our vision and strategy
Scouting encourages young people to be the best that they can be. We give young people the confidence to dream big and the determination and drive to achieve their goals. Now we want to do more.
​
Our strategy for 2018-2023 supports and empowers our volunteers to deliver an amazing programme. It is our plan to contribute to a better society. Above all, it’s a plan for young people who deserve the best skills, the best support and the best possible futures.
​
Scouting has been active in Kirkcaldy since 1908 and adventure has always been at the heart of everything we do. It is the single most important thing that sets Scouts apart. We believe that through the everyday adventure of Scouting, young people and adult volunteers regularly experience new challenges that enrich their lives and meet life long friends.
​
We offer hundreds of activities, as diverse as;
-
kayaking
-
abseiling
-
staged performance
-
paragliding
-
archery
​
There’s something for every young person, whatever their physical ability.
​
Our vision
By 2023 we will have prepared more young people with skills for life, supported by amazing leaders delivering an inspiring programme.
We will be growing, more inclusive, shaped by young people and making a bigger impact in our communities.
​
Our mission
Scouting actively engages and supports young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
Our values
We act with care, respect, integrity, cooperation, exploring our own and others beliefs.
Our programme
Every young person in Scouting enjoys a balanced range of activities, events and experiences, based around subject areas we call Programme Zones.
​
The zones vary depending on which of our sections the young person is in, but they cover a huge range of activities, from outdoor and physical pursuits to community involvement, creative expression and learning about the wider world.
​
Together we help Scouts get the most out of their Scouting experience by including elements from as many zones as possible within the activities on offer. And, the older they get, the more input young people themselves have in their own activity selection.
​
Activities are an integral part of Scouting. But as well as being challenging physically, our activities help young people set and achieve goals and grow in confidence.
