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 Scouts are encouraged
to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme. The emphasis is on taking part and there are a number
of badges and awards Scouts can work towards to recognise their commitment and achievements.
Being outdoors is important in the Scout Section and half the Programme is given over to taking
part in traditional Scouting skills such as camping, survival and cooking as well as a wide range of adventurous activities,
which can include anything from abseiling to yachting.
Our
Troop has regular weekend camps and offers a Summer Camp every year, sometimes in the UK but we also offer the chance to take
part in international travel and many of our Scouts have been on camps abroad - including
Florida, South of France, Paris and Switzerland.
