About Us

We at Elvington Scouts are part of the UK’s biggest mixed youth organisation, based just southeast of York, bringing fun and adventure to more than 80 young people between the ages of 6 and 18 years old. We are one of the 14 Scout Groups in the York Ebor District which supports more than 1000 Scouts. 

Scouting changes lives by offering 6- to 25-year-olds fun and challenging activities, unique experiences, everyday adventure and the chance to help others so that we make a positive impact in communities.

Scouts helps children and young adults reach their full potential. Scouts develop skills for life including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world.
