Scouts

Our Scouts meet on a Monday evening at Fairfield Park Community hall

Being a Scout

When you join Scouts, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things.Here’s everything you need to know.

Scouts are young people aged 10½ to 14 who:

  • Master new skills and try new things
  • Have fun and go on adventures
  • Make friends
  • Are curious about the world around them
  • Help others and make a difference, in their own communities and beyond

Every week, they gather in groups called Patrols to take part in lots of interesting and challenging activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.

Activities and what you’ll get up to

Build and develop your confidence, sense of adventure and outdoor skills. Explore you beliefs and attitudes and be creative. Gain independence and put these skills into practice at camps and even on international trips.

Awards

Scouts start small but think big, always challenging themselves to do more and be more. It starts with an award. Who knows where it might lead?

Uniform and badge placement

You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!

Here are some of our favourite photos of activities our Scout section has completed, hopefully, these inspire you

Scout leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers working to make Scouts the best it can be, but we don’t just need swashbuckling adventurers to lead our expeditions. We also need tidy-uppers and tea-makers and great listeners from all walks of life – for as much or as little time as they can spare.
