Our aim in Chester and District Scouting is to offer everyday adventure to as many young people as we can. Outdoor activities have always been the strong point for the Movement and this will not change. In Chester we are using our centenary to energise our programme and this year sees our latest District Camp on the Eaton Estate and also Chamboree, Cheshire’s international camp at Tabley. And surrounding these major events is a host of smaller ones.

Scouting worldwide, nationally and locally has come a long way in the last one hundred years. The Movement has been a strong contributor to the wellbeing of the community wherever it is found, and here in Chester that has certainly been the case. We are proud of all that we have done and this year gives us an excuse (if one is needed!) to celebrate all that has been achieved. But we are also looking to the future, where Scouting will be shaped by young people in partnership with adults; will be as diverse as the community in which we live and will be enjoyed by more young people and by more adult volunteers. We want Scouts of all ages to feel empowered, valued and proud.

If we develop in this way, Scouting in Chester and everywhere else will continue to have a positive impact in our community, will prepare young people to be active citizens and will embrace and contribute to wider social change.  This is why we are both proud of our past and excited about the future!

Chester District was formed in 1910 to serve Scouting locally. We launched our celebrations of the Centenary at a special reception at Chester Guildhall on 14 January 2010 with a programme of events throughout the year.
