Welcome to FLAGS Scouts

FLAGS is the National Scout Active Support Unit which actively supports the recruitment, retention and ongoing support of LGBT adults within The Scout Association in the UK.  This support extends to those already in Scouting or those considering joining Scouting who are questioning their sexuality.

Our Vision...

 ...is that FLAGS will be recognised as an effective Scout Active Support Unit; offering support to Scouting across the UK.  We will actively support LGBT Adults forming a network of adults in Scouting to share best practice, and support key national events.

FLAGS will also work to support the retention and recruitment of LGBT adults across th UK.  FLAGS will also be seen as subject matter experts to Scouting HQ, as well as CC's and the Diversity Team.  FLAGS will provide support to Regions, Counties and Districts who wish to take part in local Pride events using the 'Scout Pride' brand
