About the scouts
Scouts
Scouts are boys and girls between 10½ and 14 years of age. They meet together once a week on Friday evening form 7.30pm to 9:30 PM in a Scout Troop.
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. Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme. The emphasis is on taking part and there are a number of badges and awards Scouts can work towards to recognise their commitment and achievements. The top badge is the Chief Scout's Gold Award.
Being outdoors is important in the Scout Section and half the Programme is given over to taking part in traditional Scouting skills such as camping, survival and cooking as well as a wide range of adventurous activities, which can include anything from abseiling to yachting.
The chance to take part in international travel is also important for Scouts and many travel abroad during their time in the Section.
Young people may stay in the Scout Section until the age of 14½ at the latest before moving on to Explorer Scouts.
