Scouts is the third section in Scouting, and is for boys
and girls aged 10½ to 14. Scouts take part in a wide
range of activities as part of their programme, from archery
to expeditions. There are many awards that Scouts can work
towards, completing Challenges to get the Chief Scout’s
Gold Award. However, taking part and having fun is just as
important as what you achieve as a Scout.
The balanced programme of activities encourages Scouts to
find out about the world in which they live, know their own
abilities and the importance of keeping fit and develop their
creative talents. There are also opportunities to explore
their beliefs and attitudes.
Being outdoors is really important and Scouts love to learn
new skills, such as camping, survival and cooking as well
as the wide range of adventurous activities, anything from
abseiling to yachting.
Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team,
participating fully in the adventure and opportunities of
life.

web site.
