| The Scout Section is
for young people,
usually aged between 10½
and 14 years. A young
person can come in to
the Troop at 10 and may
stay until they are 15
years old. The Scout
Troop is the third and
final Section in the
Scout Group.
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.
The international
aspect gives Scouting a
special appeal and many
Scouts now travel abroad
during their time in the
Section.
Scouting is about
being with friends, as
part of a team,
participating fully in
the adventure and
opportunities of life.
Scouts meet on Fridays
7.30 - 9.30pm
