Community Impact Project Partners

A Million Hands – Removing social barriers, connecting people and improving lives.

Participating in our A Million Hands programme is one way Scouts can take action and achieve their Community Impact Staged Activity Badge.  It provides ready-made activities and programme ideas centred on six national themes, chosen by our young people themselves.

The Current Community Impact Partners are Inspire, Save the Children, the National Autistic Society, WWF, the Simon Community and British Red Cross.

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
