Like many youth organisations, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on participation in Scouting. Despite these challenges, the dedication and hard work of local and national teams meant that the majority of groups were able to continue delivering programme activities for young people, either online or face to face when restrictions allowed.
Alongside this, extensive work took place behind the scenes in collaboration with the National Youth Agency and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to ensure that face-to-face Scouting could safely resume as soon as conditions permitted.
