Portsmouth Scouts are proud to be part of the City’s celebrations, and welcome Members from both County and National Scouting to join them. This is the second time Portsmouth has held Pride for some 13 years! We’ll not only be taking part in the parade, but will also be found shouting for Scouting with a recruitment stand. It’s a great opportunity to open up the fun, challenge and everyday adventure of the Movement to even more young people and adult volunteers.
