THE EARLY YEARS
PILOT PROGRAM

Our Early Years Pilot Program* will introduce children aged 4–5 to Scouting values through hands-on, nature-based learning. Inspired by international successes like the UK’s Squirrels and Australia’s Joey Scouts, this program would focus on fostering confidence, social skills, and a love for nature—all while bringing families together. In the UK, 75% of kids in Early Years programs stay in Scouting as they grow. That’s why we’re testing the feasibility of this program over the next year.

* Note: This is a pilot program and will be reviewed for feasibility only after the testing phase has been completed.
