OUR SCOUTS
​Who We Are
Scouts is the third section of the Scouting family, aged 10-14 years old.
From the first experimental camp for 20 boys in 1907, the movement now has an estimated 28 million members worldwide, and in the UK alone there are over 499,000 boys and girls involved in Scouting.
​What We Offer
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
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.
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.
Scout Uniform
Scouts wear a teal green shirt or blouse, navy blue activity trousers or skirt, and group scarf (often called a necker) with a leather woggle.
