3Rd Inverness (Crown) Scout Group

Since our birth in 1916, Crown Scout Group has provided a fun, challenging & exciting programme of Scouting activities for young people in the Crown district of Inverness.

Through the adventure of Scouting, young people get to take risks in a safe environment, and have their first taste of responsibility. We give young people experiences they'll never forget. In Scouting, we provide over 200 activities from abseiling to zorbing ('that's falling out of the sky in a foam ball in case you were wondering). If we don't have an instructor who can help we can normally find someone who can. But Scouting isn't just about activities for their own sake. We encourage our young people to feel the buzz of the challenge and then reflect on what that means. Did they have fun? Do they feel more confident? Would they do it again?

All this is made possible by the efforts of more than 450 voluntary adult leaders. With award winning training and one-to-one support, we make sure that each one of our volunteers gets to make the best use of their skills and talents. It's something different from the norm, and that why a lot of people like it. ' In fact, it's what's made us the largest co-educational youth Movement in the country.
