Our Scout Troop

Our Scout Troop is for boys and girls aged between 10 ½ – 14 (6-month flexibility).

Scouts meet together as a Troop and work within a variety of small groups called ‘Patrols’ lead by a Scout Patrol Leader.

The Patrol Leaders work with the Leadership Team in setting the programme and in decisions affecting the Troop. The Patrol system is one of the important ways that young people can take responsibility for themselves and others.

We offer a number of adventurous activities throughout the year, outdoor activities feature prominently, with the highlight being camping. Throughout the year, Scouts learn various skills, such as map reading, camp cooking and first aid in preparation for camp.

Our scouts work towards challenge awards, culminating in the Chief Scouts Gold Award, which is presented in a county ceremony by the County Commissioner. Scouts also have the opportunity to gain a wide range of activity badges by working inside and outside troop meetings. Most of the badges and awards in Scouts require independent work by the scouts themselves.

Meetings

Our Scout Troop meets on Wednesday evenings 19:00 to 20:30.
