Growing Scouting

Kent Scouts has a range of badges and a team of Growth & Development Officers to support you to growing scouting.

Our Growth & Development Team are here to support volunteers and to help them recruit new adults and young people. We can help with:

  • GSL or District meetings about growing Scouting
  • Open evenings for sections or Groups
  • Starting new sections
  • Sections needing support
