The Scout Section is for young people, usually between 10 1/2 and 14 years. As a Scout you can take part in a wide range of activities ranging from abseiling to zorbing and there are a number of Challenge Awards and Activity Badges to earn along the way. Scouting is all about discovering the world we live in, knowing ones own abilities, keeping fit for life and developing creative talents. It is also important to explore your own values and personal attitudes.
Being outdoors is important and there are many opportunities to learn the traditional Scouting skills such as camping, survival, and cooking as well as a wide range of adventure activities including archery, canoeing and yachting. The international aspect gives Scouting a special appeal and many scouts now travel abroad during their time in the section. The Scouts meet on Friday evenings between 7:00 and 9:00pm.
