Mission Statement
Our goal is to prepare young people in Godalming with skills for life. We encourage young people to do more, learn more and be more. We given them a place to belong.
At Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers, young people make new friends, have amazing adventures, and learn new skills.
Every week we give 4-18 year olds the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.
Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your child’s physical ability – there’s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And we’ll help them find it and given them a place to belong.
