Every week Scout groups give almost half a million 4-25 year olds the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life. So what do Scouts do? It's hard to say... There's something new every week! Scouts of all ages 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.
Scouts develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young people to reach their full potential, get jobs, save lives and even change the world. 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. See more about our different age groups at 1st Djursholm below.
For all of our age groups (Sections) there is a membership cost of 950 SEK per term (to be paid in Autumn and Spring terms) and a one-off 200 SEK joining fee which covers the cost of our group necker and badges. Families will need to purchase the uniform jumper or shirt, but our Leaders can help you with where and what to buy. For events or activities additional to our weekly meetings such as camps, climbing, water activites etc. there will be extra costs to cover these.
Beaver Scouts is for young people aged between 6 and 8 years old in the second age group of Scouting, they gather in groups called Beaver Colonies to hop, skip and jump their way through lots of different games and activities. Beaver Scouts make friends, play games, go on visits and help others.
As well as enjoying plenty of adventures, being a Beaver is about exploring who you are and what you stand for. These are big ideas, and when you join the Beaver Colony, you’ll start thinking about them by making a promise. A promise is a set of words that mean something to you, which you try to follow everyday.
Our Beaver Colony meets on Mondays between 17.30 and 19.00, you can register your interest to join here: https://forms.gle/ikD1GJ5s5Fu3orCW7
Cub Scouts is for young people aged between 8 and 10 years old in the third age group of Scouting, they gather in groups called Cub Packs. Being a Cub is all about growing and learning in small but mighty ways. With your new friends you'll go on adventures, learn new skills and help others. Cub Scouts go on camps, build edible rafts, or go on moonlit hikes. They learn by doing, and some of the skills will be practical - learn how to cook a delicious meal or give someone first aid.

Scouts is for young people aged between 10 and 14 years old in the fourth age group of Scouting, they gather in groups called Scout Troops to conquer the small task of changing the world. Being a Scout is all about discovering the world on your own terms and making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.
Alongside your new friends, you’ll master the skills that'll help you weather the storms of life, and try things you’d never get the chance to do at home or at school - working with trained volunteers to achieve whatever you set your mind to.
Scouts offers young people exciting experiences such as camping, hiking, wood carving, geocaching and learning practical life skills such as first aid, cooking and navigation, all while building confidence and independence. Through teamwork, community projects, and hands-on adventure, Scouts grow into capable, resilient, and responsible individuals.

Whether you’re hiking to faraway lands or building a robot in your local town hall, you’ll have the freedom to choose what you’d like to do, and work together with adults to make it happen.
