Scouts

What do Scouts get up to?

Our Scout Group is for young people ages 10 ½ – 14 and we meet at least every Thursday evening during term time.

Led each week by our volunteer leaders we run a programme designed with our young people each term to provide fun and exciting activities both indoors and out in the wild.

Discovering the world

Being a Scout is all about undertaking outdoors adventures, 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 will 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.

Starting small, thinking big

Scouts start small but think big. They stand up for what they believe in and make a difference on their doorstops, confident in the knowledge that their daily actions add up.

In a society that can often feel increasingly isolated and inward facing, Scouts build bridges and break barriers.

Throughout history, they’ve played all sorts of useful roles in society, and this legacy continues today.

Listening in, lending a hand

Scouts seek out the answers to the big questions, and to the smaller questions that don’t seem to matter but really should. Most importantly, they say yes more often than they say no – whether they’re taking part in their first ever camp away from home, or writing their first line of code, or accepting the last of the toasted marshmallows.

Lots of activities

Each year our Scouts get up to many activities. Whether that’s hiking over mountains, camping in summer or winter, cooking deer and pheasant on open fires, kayaking down rivers, cycling through the local countryside, archery and shooting air rifles, or getting lost in the woods, Scouting will challenge you and give you plenty of fun activities.

Sound like fun? That’s because it is. All that’s missing is you.
