Scouts

Welcome to the Scout section pages

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.

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.

To find out more about a Scout Troop local to you, contact our Assistant District Commissioner for Scouts.

Snow Update from the County Commissioner

Please remember our first duty is the well-being of the young people and adults in Scouting.

Don't be afraid to cancel or postpone meetings or events if in your judgement it's too risky for people to travel to them, and please advise your Groups and Units to do the same. There'll be another opportunity for Scouting to happen.
