Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and:

enjoy what they are doing and have fun;
take part in activities indoors and outdoors;
learn by doing;
share in spiritual reflection;
take responsibility and make choices;
understand new and challenging activities; and
make and live by their Promise

Balanced Programme

We aim to offer a balanced programme to our young people, not just by looking at the activities available to them, but equally importantly, how they are delivered. The programme is regularly refreshed and kept up to date to ensure that it remains relevant in today’s society.

The Scout programme is designed to offer adventure and challenge to young people in a way that is appropriate to their age and ability. For this reason the programme is flexible and able to be adjusted to meet the needs of individuals where required.
