Why value diversity?

Society is diverse:
One in five adults and one in 20 children are
disabled in some way.
One in 12 people are from black and minority
ethnic backgrounds, the figure rises to one in
eight of under 16 year olds.
One in 20 people who have a religious belief
belong to a faith community other that Christian.
One in four people are under 16 and one in six
are over 65.
By 2010 only 20% of the UK working population
will be white, male, able-bodied and under 45.
This factsheet provides an introduction to the
concept of diversity, explains how diversity fits
with the values of Scouting, and outlines how
diversity has direct benefits for Scouting.
The benefits of diversity
It has been proven that by valuing diversity,
organisations bring benefits to the people they

work with, their local communities, as well as to
themselves.
Defining diveristy
There are many definitions of a diverse
organisation. One of the more useful and
relevant for Scouting is the one used by The
National Centre for Volunteering:
‘A diverse organisation is one which
values difference. It is one which
recognises that people with different
backgrounds, skills, attitudes and
experiences bring fresh ideas and
perceptions.
Diverse organisations encourage and
harness these differences to make their
services relevant and approachable.
A diverse organisation draws upon the
widest possible range of views and
experiences, so it can listen to, and
meet, the changing needs of its users,
staff, volunteers, partners and
supporters.’
Diversity is more than just being ‘politically
correct’ or having an equal opportunities policy.
Embracing diversity brings benefits for an

organisation. It is a move away from policies and
procedures and embeds diversity into the
organisation’s culture. Rather than simply
minimising the effect of discrimination and
encouraging equal treatment it takes positive
advantage of the differences between individuals
and works against prejudice.
It is possible to place attitudes towards diversity
on a continuum, from organisations that have a
disinterested (or in some cases a prejudicial)
attitude, to a position where an equal
opportunities approach is established, to one
where the diversity of the organisation is
celebrated:
Disinterested
(prejudicial)
Compliance
and obligation
Valuing and
celebrating
Diversity

Valuing diversity is the next step in growing and
developing as an organisation.
Diversity and The Scout Association
Like other voluntary organisations, Scouting
gains real advantages by valuing diversity. The
importance of diversity is included in the
Fundamentals of Scouting, the Programme, and
the Adult Training Scheme. It is supported by the
policies of the Association.
The Fundamentals
Many of the Fundamentals of Scouting reflect
the same ideas behind the concept of valuing
diversity. For instance, it reflects the fact that
Scouting believes ‘that the world is a better place
when people:
are trustworthy, self-controlled and self
confident,
have self-respect and respect for others,
work together to serve other people and to
improve society,
have an active religious faith.’
(See Scouting Essentials - Section 1.1)
The Programme
Three of the six Personal Development Areas on
which the programme is based include aspects
that value diversity:
‘Faith and beliefs: to grow in a relationship
with their God, articulate and express that
faith, to live out Scouting values and to respect
the beliefs of others.’
‘Relationships: to relate to and work with
many other individuals, each with their own
feelings, gender and culture, and to develop
mature friendships.’
‘Community: live in a community servicing
others and valuing the contribution of all.’
(Scouting Essentials - Section 1.3)
Adult Training
There are two modules in the Adult Training
Scheme that highlight the value and importance
of diversity. Module 1, Essential Information
introduces the concepts in Scouting and the
subject is further developed in Module 7, Valuing
Diversity.
The Equal Opportunities Policy
The Association’s Equal Opportunities Policy
states that the Association is ‘committed to
extending Scouting, its Purpose and Method to
young people in all parts of society.’
All adults in Scouting have a responsibility to
operate the Equal Opportunities Policy:
‘No Member of the Movement is expected to
receive less favourable treatment based on age;
class; gender; marital status; sexual orientation;
mental or physical ability; political or religious
belief.’
Growth and development
There are important growth and development
issues that encourage an active and positive
approach to diversity. Experience from the
voluntary and commercial sectors suggests that
organisations that embrace diversity are able to
develop a broader membership that is more
reflective of their local communities. They enjoy
access to rich and previously unused pools of
time and talent; gain an improved public image
and find an increased motivation amongst adult
volunteers, who find that they are treated fairly.
In addition, funders are increasingly seeking to
only work with organisations that can
demonstrate a commitment to diversity.
Diversity - the topics
Diversity encompasses a huge range of issues.
In terms of the Association, the main topics are:
Special Needs
Faiths & Beliefs
Black and Minority Ethnic Communities
Gender/co-education
Ageism
Disadvantaged young people
Sexuality/sexual orientation

There are a variety of resources to support work
with these issues that are available from the
Scout Information Centre, or from Scoutbase.
