02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

The JNI is set up to provide young people with fun, challenging, and educational activities that support their personal development. We deliver the Scouting programme locally through age-appropriate sections, helping members build skills for life such as teamwork, leadership, resilience, and community involvement. It offers a safe, inclusive environment where young people can explore the outdoors, learn practical and social skills, and develop values like respect, responsibility, and service. The Group is also structured to involve trained volunteers, encourage youth leadership, and connect families with the wider scouting movement and their local community.
