We have 5 Active Scout Groups across the District. Each Scout Group has four Scouting Sections: Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers.
Beavers 6 – 8 Years Old
For our youngest members, Beavers is about having fun, making friends, and learning new skills. Beavers meet weekly to try out a huge range of activities, including science experiments, crafts, den building and more. We also go on day trips, sleepovers and camps, giving many Beavers a real adventure – their first night away from home!
Cubs 8 – 10.5 Years Old
Joining Cubs opens up a new world of fun and adventure for girls and boys through access to a massive range of exciting activities including camping, adventurous activities, such as climbing and sailing, plus creative and cultural pursuits. At weekly meetings, Cubs are encouraged to challenge themselves to try new things and are rewarded for effort, teamwork and leadership.
Scouts 10.5 – 14 Years Old
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. We encourage Scouts 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.
Explorer Scouts 14 – 18 Years Old
Explorer Scouts are always on the go! You’ll find there’s always something to get involved with, whether it’s an international expedition, adventure camp or community project. Explorer Scouts have the opportunity to take on CV-boosting accolades, such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award or our own Queen’s Scout Award, and can develop leadership skills through the Young Leader Scheme.
