Scouts

Our Scout programme covers a wide range of activities, so there is something for everyone. We believe that teamwork is a hugely important skill so the majority of the activities we do are designed to build on this, and other essential life skills.

Our scouts section is for those young people aged between 10 ½ and 14 who are interested in:

  • Mastering new skills and trying new things
  • Making new friends
  • Having fun and going on adventures
  • Exploring the world around them
  • Helping others and making a difference, in their own communities and beyond

Uniform and badge placement

You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!

Awards

Scouts start small but think big, always challenging themselves to do more and be more. It starts with an award. Who knows where it might lead?

Scout leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers working to make Scouts the best it can be, but we don’t just need swashbuckling adventurers to lead our expeditions. We also need tidy-uppers and tea-makers and great listeners from all walks of life – for as much or as little time as they can spare.

Volunteer on your own terms
