We have been listening for some time to individual young people and potential volunteers who feel they would like to become full members but cannot do so. It’s right that we ask ourselves and our members the question – “Should we continue to exclude adults and young people who would otherwise benefit from the Scouting experience?” Being able to join Scouting would mean they could enjoy the activities and adventure, leadership opportunities and life skills that enrich the lives of more than 525,000 of our members across the UK. That’s why we are inviting all Scouts of every age to answer the question: should we now offer a Scout Promise for atheists?
