Due to its growth our Group is currently seeking new leaders, particularly for the Scout section. The good news is that it's never been easier to become a Cub or Scout Leader! Support your kids, help the community, learn some new skills and have a great time. Please speak to the Group Leader for further details. Remember – it is YOUR Group and we need YOUR support.
Scouts (11 years to 15 years) receive expert instruction in a wide variety of outdoor skills, together with the all important basic theory to make sure they don’t get lost and can deal with life’s emergencies.
We meet on Mondays from 7pm-9pm during school term
Scouts go on camps with a few friends or join thousands of boys and girls for fun and adventure at a national Jamboree.
Their confidence will build and they’ll learn how to make decisions and work as part of a team.
In a small group called a Patrol, an older, more experienced Scout will be Patrol Leader and help develop others’ skills.
Weekly meetings are held to build up skill levels, play games and have fun and plan for weekend adventures. Scouts quickly become familiar with equipment and the right way to use it.
The Scout Uniform consists of the dark blue shirt with the section colour, which is Green, across the sleeve, yoke and collar.
The other components of the uniform are a blue or moss-green belt and a scarf and woggle.
