The Scout Section is for young people, a young person can come in to the Troop at approximately 10½ and may stay until they are between 14 and 14½  years old.
The Scout Troop is the third and final Section in the Scout Group. After Scouts, young people can move onto Explorers.

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 a wide range of adventurous activities, anything from abseiling to archery to water activites via knots and map reading.

The international aspect gives Scouting a special appeal and some Scouts now travel abroad during their time in the Section. In 2007 40,000 Scouts from around the World attended the World Jamboree in the UK, and Scouts regularly participate in International camps and experiences both on home soil and abroad, each of them a unique experience in its own right.

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

Our Scout Troop meets on Fridays, 7:00pm - 8:45pm. For more information about Scouts, please email our Group Scout Leader.
