Beaver Scouts 6 -
8 year olds
"The best thing
we did was swim in the rain. I wasn't even sure we
were allowed to, but it was brilliant! I mean we
were wet anyway, so I guess it didn't matter too
much about the weather."
Cub Scouts 8 ½ -
10
½
year olds
"The best part of Scouting is definitely the camps.
I love every activity we do apart from swimming.
They told us the pool was 24 degrees centigrade.
Minus 24 more like!"
Scouts 10 ½
- 14 year olds
"It's good to
get out basically. I wasn't too keen to go to Scouts
to begin with but now it's a good laugh. All the
activities we do are fun and I’ve made loads of
great mates."
Explorer Scouts 14 -18 year olds
"To anyone who
hasn't tried Scouting before, I'd say come on up and
have a go! I think that most people don't really
know that Scouting is about activities, friendship
and meeting people from other countries. I've been
in the Movement since I was a Beaver and I still
love it!"
Network 18 - 25 year olds
"Last week we were out in the Brecon Beacons. This
week we're up in the Lakes helping some Scouts take
their first trip on the water. Where else can you
make a difference and have an excellent time
yourself? Scouting - it's recommended."
--------------------------------------------------
Scouts usually meet on one evening during the week, although they may also go to camps and other days out throughout the year.
Whilst the activities they take part in will depend on their age, each Section gives young people the opportunity to learn by doing. The main programme areas are: Outdoor and Adventure; Global; Community; Fit for Life; Creative and Beliefs; and Attitudes. Scout Leaders are trained to deliver this programme, ensuring our young people stay safe while they enjoy themselves and learn.
