Scouts is the oldest section in our Scout Group, catering for boys and girls aged 11 to 14.

Scouts  take part in a wide variety of activities including:

• Play games
• Gain badges
• Go on outings and visits
• Go camping and learn about the outdoors
• Look after themselves
• Look after their surroundings
• Help others
• Create things

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 and for the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or her achievements there are a number of Challenges Awards and Activity Badges. 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. It 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, such as camping, survival and cooking as well as the wide range of adventurous activities, anything from abseiling to yachting.

There is a weekly charge called “subs” of £1 and an annual subscription of £27 which goes towards Scout Insurance, the UK Scout Association and the development of the Group is a whole.

Meetings are held on Friday nights.
