Phoenix Independent Scouts Association supports independent Scout groups who want connection, practical help, and shared experience — without giving up control of how they operate.
Membership gives you:
- A supportive community
Connect with other independent Scout groups who understand the realities of running Scouting your own way.
- Light-touch practical support
Friendly advice, shared experience, and help when you need it — never oversight or direction.
- Shared learning, not formal training
Leaders learn from each other through conversation, ideas, and real-world experience.
- Clear safety expectations
Support to meet essential safeguarding, First Aid, and DBS requirements.
- Events & opportunities
Camps, activity days, and leader meet-ups where realistic and achievable.
- Cost-saving resources
Shared badges, templates, and practical tools to save time and reduce costs.
- International links
Membership of WFIS and access to global independent Scouting opportunities.
- A voice in Phoenix’s future
Help shape how Phoenix develops as the community grows.
Phoenix is about independence without isolation
You stay fully self-governing — with a friendly network behind you when you need support.
