Scout's membership grows by one fifth in 10 years

Scout's membership grows by one fifth in 10 years: The Scout Association's annual census shows it has increased its members by 22 per cent to 550,000 in the last ten years.

The charity today announced plans to recruit an extra 58,000 young people with the aim of reaching 500,000 Scouts by 2018.

As well as more young people, the movement is looking to recruit 18,000 new adult volunteers by 2018 as the organisation steps up its work in deprived communities.
