Scouts is open to everyone; we don’t identify exclusively with one faith and at Bramhope our Area of Reflection is a space where adults and young people can go to ponder, reflect and pray. Our lives are constantly busy and on-the-go, with lots of noise and we rarely stop and pause. Our reflection area gives visitors this moment.
In Scouts we explore different faith, beliefs and attitudes as a core element of our programme, and it’s one of our fundamental values. The spiritual development of all members is an important element of Scouts. It’s important to enable young people to spend some time taking stock of themselves and the world around them.
In the busy world in which we live we sometimes overlook the benefits of quietness. There’s great power in peace, quiet and contemplation, especially when surrounded by nature.
