This benefits is demonstrated through Scouting making a positive impact in our communities:

preparing young people to be active citizens;embracing and contributing to social change;being as diverse as the communities in which we operates. These are evidenced by feedback from our beneficiaries and the wider community. 3. There is no harm arising from our purposes. Scouting operates within a framework of safety to enable young people to take part in adventurous activities safely. 4. Scouting's beneficiaries are children and young people. 5.The only private benefit from this purpose is that Adult Volunteers are trained to deliver the programme but this is incidental and necessary because it is needed to operate in today's society working with young people.
