Who are Scouts?
Scouts are a
go-getting group of young people aged 10 to 15 who:
·
Master new skills and try new things
·
Make new friends
·
Have fun and go on adventures, at home and abroad
·
Explore the world around them
·
Help others and make a difference, in their own communities and beyond
Scouting enables young people to be self-fulfilled, inspired, action-oriented, and committed to a life of purpose. Scouting is rooted in the transformative ideals of equality, inclusivity, mutual respect, sustainability, harmony, and optimism for the future.
What do Scouts get up to?
Discovering the world
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 - working with trained volunteers to
achieve whatever you set your mind to.
Starting small,
thinking big
Scouts start small but think big. They stand
up for what they believe in and make a difference on their doorstops, confident
in the knowledge that their daily actions add up.
In a society that can often feel increasingly
isolated and inward facing, Scouts build bridges and break barriers.
Throughout history, they’ve played all sorts
of useful roles in society, and this legacy continues today.
Who leads Scouts?
Each Scout
Troop is made up of young people aged 10 to 15, led by trained adult Leader who
are on hand to share their skills and keep everyone safe.
Within their
Troop, Scouts are part of a Patrol - smaller groups of Scouts who look out
for one another, and help each other grow. Scouts usually gather in their
Patrols at the beginning and end of meetings. They might also stick together on
expeditions or trips away, or during certain activities.
