Scouts is all about fun, challenges and adventure.
Scouts helps children and young adults reach their full potential. Scouts develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world.
What do Scouts do?
Scouts take part in activities as diverse as kayaking, abseiling, expeditions overseas, photography, climbing and zorbing. As a Scout you can learn survival skills, first aid, computer programming, or even how to fly a plane. There’s something for every young person. It’s a great way to have fun, make friends, get outdoors, express your creativity and experience the wider world.
What do volunteers do?
This everyday adventure is possible thanks to our adult volunteers, who support Scouts in a wide range of roles from working directly with young people, to helping manage a Group, to being a charity Trustee. We help volunteers get the most out of their experiences at Scouts by providing opportunities for adventure, training, fun and friendship.
Our award-winning training scheme for volunteers means that adults get as much from Scouts as young people. Our approach focuses on what you want to get out of volunteering with Scouts, while respecting how much time you can offer. Over 90% of Scout volunteers say that their skills and experiences have been useful in their work or personal life.
What we do
FUN AND ADVENTURE
We offer Fun and Adventure for boys and girls aged 6 to 14 in three sections:-
Beaver Scouts for 6 to 8 year olds
Cub Scouts for 8 to 10 year olds
If you are over 14 you can join the District Explorer Scout Unit .
Adventure is at the heart of everything we do. It is the single most important thing that sets Scouts apart.
It's exciting being involved with us. We believe that through the everyday adventure of Scouting, young people and adult volunteers regularly experience new challenges that enrich their lives. There’s something for everyone.
The aim of Scouting is to develop young people, to help them reach their potential, and to help them become better citizens within their local, national and international communities.
We do this through a programme of activities and events which train the young people, through active involvement and team work. We aim to ensure that every member enjoys the Everyday Adventure that Scouting has to offer.
This could be a 6 year old Beaver Scout taking part in his first night away, a Cub Scout enjoying her first weekend camp in a tent, or a 13 year old Scout reaching the top of his first mountain. Climbing, abseiling, camping, kayaking, canoeing, archery, hiking, expeditions and survival skills are just a small selection of the activities you can do in Scouting.
