Scouting is now the world’s largest voluntary education youth movement, spanning over 200 countries. There are more than 28 million scouts in the world today and this year we are celebrating the Centenary Year.
There will be many events taking place throughout the year, the first major event was the Founders Day Service which some of our Beaver Scouts attended, this took place at Blackburn Cathedral on the 22nd February 2007. This was a service of thanksgiving for our founder Sir Robert Baden Powell who began the Scout Movement, 100 years ago. The service was led by the young scouts and was attended by all representatives of the scouting family across East Lancashire, including former scouts and leaders.
The East Lancashire Centenary Camp is being held at Bowley Scout camp over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend. All members of the scouting family from beaver scouts to explorer scouts, leaders and helpers from East Lancashire Scouts are invited to attend for the celebrations. Further information will follow.

Year Books:
Our beaver scouts are developing their own personal year books to help them commemorate this important year of scouting. The year books are being updated on an ongoing basis, and will include photographs, keepsakes, crafts and annotations from many of their weekly activities, work towards their badges and all events that they partake in and throughout the centenary year.
