Our Scout's meet at our hall on Friday Evenings

between the hours of 7:30 - 9:30pm 

Scouts are for boys and girls who are around 10½ and have not yet turned 15. From about 14½ they can commence 'linking' up to Venturers. If your child is 14½ and has not yet started with Scouts, you may consider going straight to Venturers.

What are the fundamental aims for a Scout Troop?

• To have fun in a safe and structured environment.

• To continue to develop within the world of scouting.

• To continue to develop a sense of belonging to a structured fun activity outside school and sports.

• Become more independent through achieving individual goals in scouting in an uncompetitive atmosphere.

• To develop leadership skills and take on the responsibility of looking out for their fellow scouts.

Typical Activities

Scouts develop their 'life skills' through scouting activities learning leadership and the responsibility that goes with it. They are recognised for their achievements through a badge award system that they progressively work through while they're in Scouts. As an eleven year old they start to aim for their 'Pioneer' badge and cord which they only receive when they have worked through a series of exercises/activities that develop their skills not only in scouting but for life in general. These will include (but not be limited too) things like hiking, campcraft & citizenship.
They then continue on to do the Explorer and Adventure badges/cords respectively which continue on the same theme as the 'Pioneer' badge but at a more advanced level.
