Public benefits

1 The benefit which flows from our purpose is that young people are empowered to make a positive contribution to society through being engaged and supported in their personal development, including physically, intellectually, socially and spiritually. 2 This benefit is demonstrated through Scouting making a positive impact in or communities,

preparing young people to be active citizens, embracing and contributing to social change, being as diverse as the communities in which we operate. 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 safety. 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 todays society working with young people
