02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The 85th Scout Group is set up as a charity to help young people develop skills for life and become active, responsible members of society. As a charity, our Scout Group exists for public benefit. That means it operates to benefit young people and the wider community, rather than to make a profit. Volunteers, Trustees and Leaders all work together to provide accessible opportunities for all young people, regardless of background or ability to pay. We also provide services and support to the local community through volunteering, community projects and participation in local events. Through these activities, Scouts encourage young people to become active citizens who make a positive difference in the local and wider community.
