What will my child do at Scouts?

Yes, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing, but, you also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges.

Each of our sections do a wide range of activities including craft work, learning new skills, playing games, local visits, ‘Scouting Skills’ and badgework. Each section has a number of programme zones (or themes), badges and challenge awards that help us provide a varied and exciting programme for each of our age groups. We  call it #SkillsforLife.

We also go on regular camping trips, both more locally and abroad (for Scouts and Explorers), and also encourage our members to help us plan their own programme
