As we come to the end of 2025, I would like to say a huge thank you to all our leaders, trustees, supporters and members across Gosport Scouts. Your dedication, commitment and hard work over the past year have made a real difference, and I am incredibly grateful for everything you have done to support young people in our district.

This year has been an important step in our journey as we continue to reboot Gosport Scouts. Thanks to your energy, teamwork and belief in what Scouting can offer, we are building strong foundations for the future. I am very much looking forward to working with you all again in 2026 as we continue this journey together.

As we head into the Christmas period, I hope you are able to take some well-earned time to rest and enjoy being with your family and friends.

Thank you once again for everything you do for Gosport Scouts.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. ... See MoreSee Less

Dwayne Fields, adventurer, TV presenter, and Chief Scout congratulate Gosport volunteers.

Due to demand from children and young people who want less screen time and more green time Scout Groups across Gosport are running engaging programmes every week to enable children and young people to get outdoors and take part in activities and adventure.

Gosport Scouts provides young people with the chance to dream big, find their place, make memories and friends that will last a lifetime. Gosport Scout District are highly active and has over 750 youth members aged 4 to 18 years taking part in the fun. Scouts offers over two hundred activities from abseiling and coding to drama and water-zorbing.

Dwayne Fields, adventurer, TV presenter, and Chief Scout said ‘’I’m incredibly pleased that Gosport Scouts continues to grow and expand their support for young people. This means that in 2026 we will now have more young people in the local community making friends, building their confidence, and gaining skills that will prepare them for life and work.

When I was young, as quite a shy kid, I remember walking into my local Scout meeting place and getting such a warm welcome. I found people who believed in me, and that helped me believe in myself. This set me on a path to adventure – taking me to Antarctica, the Galapagos Islands and even the North Pole.

What made the difference were inspirational volunteers who became role models for me. I’ll also never forget the kindness and friendship of the other Scouts.

Now I’m so pleased that more young people in Gosport will now get the same chance I did – to discover their talents and find their place in the world.

In Scouts, we’re so proud to help young people step up, speak up, and do their best. But for this to happen, we need more volunteers to step forward.

As a volunteer myself I know how much I get out of it; it’s great for your skills, your wellbeing, and the local community. And the best thing is that you can volunteer on a flexible basis, giving as much or as little time as you want. No special skills are required – just a willingness to help and a positive attitude; we’ll provide all the rest.

A massive thank you to everyone in Gosport Scout District. You’re making all the difference to young lives and bringing people together’’.

In a recent poll 94% of Scouts said they had developed useful skills, 95% said they’ve tried activities they haven’t tried before and 85% said they are happier since joining.
