UK Space Agency: Scouts and Guides
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of the UK Space Agency becoming part of his Department on that agency’s partnership with the Scouts.
Answered by Ian Murray
The UK Space Agency‘s merger with DSIT’s Space Directorate from 1 April 2026 will not affect any changes to grants, contracts, or partnerships, including to the sponsorship of Scouting Space badges which help promote awareness of the UK’s space programme and develop STEM knowledge and skills among young people.
