Welcome to the B-PSA UK!

The B-PSA UK is an independent Scout Association with membership in the World Federation of Independent Scouts and dates back to the foundations of Scouting in 1907. 

The Aim of our Association is, as stated by B-P himself, to promote good citizenship and wholesome physical, mental development; and training in habits of observation, discipline, self-reliance, loyalty, and useful life skills.

We are proud as an Association to be upholding Lord Baden-Powell's Scouting ideals and his original programmes, proving that his planning and foresight still holds true today. We preserve Lord Baden-Powell's original ideas in our programmes and methods as much as possible, while progressing with the times and keeping up to date with the very latest technology, child protection, legislation, first aid standards, and safety in outdoor education.

We invite you to have a good look around our site and enjoy your visit. We hope you learn a bit about us and find out more about the many benefits Traditional Scouting offers the youth of today.

Should you have any questions about Traditional Scouting in your community or a general enquiry about the Traditional Scouting methods and programmes, please drop us a line.
