Scouts are young people aged from 10½ to 14 years of age.

There are loads of fun things you can do as a Scout.

You will get a chance to try lots of different adventurous activities like, hiking, abseiling, archery, pioneering and canoeing.

Scouts also get to go camping of course, this is where you will get the chance to sleep under canvas, discover how to survive off the land as well as learn how to light and cook on open fires.

You get to wear a smart green uniform shirt and will have a challenging but fun time earning badges to sew on it.

Our Scout Troop is very full with both boys and girls and preference is given to those who have been in our Cub Pack.
We do have a waiting list (at least a year long) so parents are advised to contact us as soon as possible and not wait until your child is scout age.

If you want to join in the fun it may be that you should consider using the Scout Headquarters website to find another group near where you live.

The Scout uniform is:

The green uniform shirt with our group scarf and woggle, uniform trousers, belt and black polished shoes. Uniform trousers are 'navy blue activity trousers'.

We will provide the scarf, woggle and badges as they are earned. We may also have some second-hand uniform items available.

From time to time we find that we have a member (child or adult) whose family circumstances are tight. We have always made sure that they have a uniform. We have also on occasion subsidised camps and other activities and rarely also their subscriptions. If you think this might apply to you please speak to your Scout leader or to Conway Tearle, our Group Scout Leader. All this will be done with little fuss of course and with as few people being aware as is necessary.

For information on where the uniform can be bought → 'shops'
