Scouts

A Scout takes part in a programme suitable for young people from age 10 to age 15
Scouts are organised into Patrols. Patrols are encouraged to plan & organise their own activities in order to develop teamwork and self reliance.

There are opportunities for Scouts to experience leadership.

A progressive award scheme enables Scouts to learn a range of new skills through working on personal challenges and group activities.

Meetings are usually held one evening a week and last for about 2 hours, as well as occassional weekends for major activities.

Movement to another section (or programme) will occur as a result of discussion between the Scout, their parents/caregivers and the Adult Leaders concerned.

The Scout Section objectives are:
  • Satisfy personal relationships 
  • Develop a sense of group achievement 
  • Participate in Patrol selected activities

  • Health & fitness 
  • Knowledge & experience in the local & wider community
