In our most deprived communities, children are falling behind their peers because they don't have access to the same high quality early education opportunities as their wealthier counterparts.
Every entry into the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, the Wirral, and the Omaze Great Escape House Draw, Wales, helps Scouts to ignite a spark of curiosity in every child, building the confidence to chase their dreams, and fostering a lifelong love of learning.
So, once again, thank you for entering the House Draws, and supporting Scouts.

“When we started our partnership with Omaze we knew that the funds generated would be able to help grow our newest section called Squirrels and help those four and five year olds learn key skills for life. In addition to this planned funding we are delighted to learn of the extra funds that have been created through this partnership. These funds will help us support the learning and development of our volunteer teams and support our teenage members with their mental well-being.
We are proud to have been part of this partnership and want to say thank you to every single person who entered the draw that has helped us raise this impressive amount."

A WORD FROM THE CHIEF SCOUT
A WORD FROM THE CHIEF SCOUT
“When I joined Scouts at the age of seven, it made all the difference to me. It helped me believe in myself, gave me the confidence, friends and the skills I needed to set me on a path to a better future. I’ve gone on to explore the world – from the North Pole to Antarctica and plenty of places in between.
Now we want to welcome more young people into Scouts, from every background. We have over 107,000 on our waiting lists.
Our partnership with Omaze can help us open new Groups, and reach out to those families who haven’t tried Scouts before. Help us inspire a new generation with skills for life.”

“I’m thrilled that Scouts is partnering with Omaze. Childhood doesn’t last forever. That’s why we have to make it count. We’ve given millions of young people of all genders, background the great start they need in life. With the kindness of our 140,000+ adult volunteers, we help them to try new things and discover their talents. Some of these have gone on to become Olympians, prime ministers and even astronauts.
We believe young people have a right to adventure, and the opportunity to thrive. But we can only do that with more funding. That’s why we need your support, which you can give by taking the Omaze Million Pound House Draw. This would open doors of opportunity to many more young people. Because every young person deserves every chance.”
Bear Grylls OBE, Chief Ambassador of World Scouting
