For Scouts

The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between 10½ and 14 years.

A young person can come in to the Troop at 10 and may stay until they are 15 years old.

The Scout Troop is the third and final Section in our Scout Group.

Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme.

"Participation" rather than meeting set standards is the key approach.

For the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or her achievements, there are a number of Challenges Awards and Activity Badges.

Scouts undertaking Scuba training

Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world in which they live, encourages them to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their creative talents.

Scouting also provides opportunities to explore their own values and personal attitudes

Being outdoors is important and half the Programme is given over to taking part in both the traditional Scouting skills.

These range from camping and cooking, survival skills, map reading, navigation as well as the wide range of adventurous activities, anything from abseiling to yachting.

The international aspect gives Scouting a special appeal and many Scouts now travel abroad during their time in the Section.

Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team, participating fully in the adventure and opportunities of life.

Scouts learn fire lighting and outdoor cooking skills.
Fully supervised, don't try this at home!
