Scouts – 10.5 to 14 years
Jump in and get muddy. Give back and get set. Scouts ignore the butterflies and go for it, and soon so will you.

From getting involved in the local community to travelling on international camps, Scouts have plenty of opportunities to develop independence and a sense of adventure.
Being a Scout is all about 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’ll help you weather the storms of life, and try things you’d never get the chance to do at home or at school.
Scouts are encouraged to have a say in planning and developing the activities and projects they want to take part in, giving them the chance to put their teamwork and leadership skills into practice.

Being a Scout
When you join Scouts, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things.
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?
Activity & Staged Badges
Master something you love, or try something shiny and new. If it spurs you on or stirs your interest, we’ve probably got a badge for it.
Uniform and badge placement
Once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!
