Skills for Life

We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

Together we can make scouting amazing! Explore each section below, and take a look at our opportunities to get involved.

Welcome to 2nd Deptford

Adventure is at the core of scouting.

Through adventure we challenge individuals so that they learn and experience new things that will enrich their lives and teach them skills for life.

When a beaver scout wakes up the morning after a sleepover, or a cub scout has confronted their fear of heights, or a young scout leads a hike, that is adventure.
