Our Mission
To help young people achieve their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as Members of their local, national and international communities.
Creating the do-ers, and give-it-a-goers
We’re Scouts and everyone’s welcome here.
Every week we give almost half a million people aged 6-25 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.
Beavers
(6 - 8 yrs)
Beaver Scouts are our youngest members. They take part in a wide range of activities including games, crafts, basic skills, visits and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.
They will also have the opportunity to take part in the fun and excitement of camps and sleepovers. It may be the first time they spend a night away from home so it’s a real adventure for them.
Cubs
(8 - 10 1/2 yrs)
A Cub Scout Pack is split into smaller groups called Sixes.
Cubs take part in a wide range of activities designed to be interesting and challenging. A Cub Scout meeting consists of games and activities with plenty of time spent outdoors. Camps and holidays are some of the most memorable events of the year for Cubs.
Scouts
(10 1/2 - 14 yrs)
Each Scout Troop consists of small units of six to eight Scouts called a Patrol, led by a Patrol Leader. Outdoor activities feature prominently, with the highlight being camping. Throughout the year, Scouts learn various skills, such as map reading, camp cooking and first aid in preparation for camp.
Explorers (14 - 18 yrs)
A group of Explorer Scouts is called a Unit and is part of the District’s provision of Scouting. 3rd East Kirkby and Black Diamond Explorers work together under a partnership agreement
