The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between 10½
and 14 years. A young person can come in to the Troop at 10 and may stay until they are 15 years old. The Scout Troop is the
third and final Section in the Scout Group.
Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part
of their programme. "Participation" rather than meeting set standards is the key approach and for the Scout who
wants to be recognised for his or her achievements there are a number of Challenges Awards and Activity Badges.
Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world in which they live, encourages them
to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their creative talents. It also provides opportunities
to explore their own values and personal attitudes.
The Great Outdoors....
Being outdoors is important and half the Programme is given over
to taking part in both the traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking as well as the wide range of
adventurous activities, anything from abseiling to yachting.
The international aspect gives Scouting a special appeal and many Scouts now travel abroad during their time in the Section.
In 2007 40,000 Scouts from around the World attended the World Jamboree in the UK, and Scouts regularly participate in International
camps and experiences both on home soil and abroad, each of them a unique experience in its own right.
