Scouts (10.5-14)

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 a half and may stay until they are 14 years old.

The Scout Troop is the third and final Section in the Scout Group. Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team, participating fully in the adventure and opportunities of life.

Balanced Programme

The philosophy underpinning the program

me is that every Scout should participate in a Balanced Programme over a period of time.

Programme has the widest possible interpretation and is not just all the activities that Scouts can take part in. It includes almost anything from archery to youth hostelling. It is also how we do those activities, known as the method, and why we do them, known as the purpose.

The Challenges are optional and include the following:

• The Outdoor Challenge
