A pleasure to celebrate the Scouting Founders Day with the 1st Houghton Beavers. 
Scouting and Guiding give young people the chance to socialise, learn new skills and explore the world around them.
As Education Secretary, I want all children to have an experience-rich education that breaks down barriers to opportunity.
Thanks to the Houghton Beavers and their wonderful Scout leaders for the warm welcome, and Happy Founders Day.
