We don't just dream. We act.
We dream about a sustainable world, where everyone's welcome. But we're not just about dreaming, Scouts want to see action too. Our UK Contingent won't silently creep round global issues, we'll be trailblazers for getting young voices heard"¦ You're gonna hear us roar.
We know that dreams come true when we work together.
