Belonging You have heard of the new Scout Brand, Skills for life #SkillForLife. Our philosophy of Belonging is closely linked to this. We believe in bringing people together to enjoy fun, friendship and adventure in a place where they can belong. Lots of evidence of this can be found on and off site this week. When you meet current, or make new friends, why knot (not, lol) tie a friendship knot in their necker? Check out Ben’s (2nd Southampton) ‘how to’ video at https://bit.ly/2n7hEE4
