Every year before Christmas, the flame originates at the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem. From there it is distributed throughout the country by the Scout movement. The light signifies the peace to as many people as possible.

 

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
