Boys and girls aged 10 - 14 years

Leader: Martin Butcher
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 weekly meetings are designed to offer a balanced programme of activities which 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. Games can be quiet or active and individual or team orientated. Scout badges and awards are aimed slightly higher than the lower sections because of the increase in age. Again, these awards are rewarded by the individual efforts of the young people and the program is based on themes including Community, Outdoors and Leadership. 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.
