About Scouting

Scouting is the United Kingdom’s largest organisation for boys and girls aged between 4 and 25!

 

Through their activities, adventures and experiences they are given the chance to help others in their own communities, nationally and around the world. In essence, Scouting helps more than 45,000 young people reach their full potential, to better prepare them for life as adults – to get jobs, save lives and possibly even change the world we live in!
Development skills include personality, teamwork, time management, initiative, leadership, planning, initiative, self-motivation, motivating others, cultural awareness plus that all-important commitment. Scouting welcomes members those of all faiths and needs. In North Lincolnshire, our Scouting district stretches from Goxhill in the east to Belton and Epworth in the west, from Barton on the south bank to Kirton in Lindsey in the south. Our adult volunteers comprising leaders and adult helpers provide weekly sessions and activities in Scout Huts and away from home to more than 850 young people – and that number is growing steadily. Our young people take part in a wide and diverse activities suitable for their age and experience- there’s something for everyone! It’s a fantastic way to have great fun, make friends, get outdoors, experience the world and learn #SkillsForLife And the same may be said for our leaders and helpers as well, for without their commitment Scouting would not exist. 
 

The Sections...

Squirrels

Squirrels is the first section within Scouting, for young people aged between 4 and 6. When you join Squirrels, you’ll be introduced to loads of new activities, people and things. Every week, Squirrels will gather to grow and learn their way through lots of different games and activities.

 

Beavers

Beavers is the second section within Scouting, after Squirrels, for young people aged between 6 and 8. When you join Beavers, you\'ll master new skills, try new things, have fun and go on adventures, make friends and help others to make a difference!

 

Cubs

Cubs is the third section within Scouting, after Beavers, for young people aged between 8 and 10 and 1/2. When you join Cubs, you\'ll master even more skills, try new things, have fun, go on hikes and camps, make friends and help others to make a difference!




Scouts

Joining Scouts offers a fantastic opportunity for any young person aged between 10 and 1/2 to 14 years old, to gain valuable Scouting and life skills while having life changing adventure. Scouts offers young people the chance to build on the skills learnt from either Cubs or the world around them and apply them to more adventurous projects and programmes. Any child is able to become a Scout upon reaching their tenth birthday.

 

Explorers

Joining Explorer Scouts offers a fantastic opportunity for young people aged between 14 and 18 years old, to take responsibility for their Scout programme and shape it to their own ambitions and access the world of scouting.

Explorer Scouting offers young people the chance to decide what to do on a week by week basis, to plan and then carry out the events they wish to take part in with like-minded individuals who may become friends for life.

 

Network

Network is the final section of the Scouting movement - a support system and social group mainly for Adult Volunteers aged between 18 and 25. Network is a continuation of your scouting journey it enables you to take part in all the usual Scouting activities without the responsibility of being an Adult Volunteer.


 

Adult Volunteers

Being a Scout Leader is incredibly rewarding. You\'ll get to work alongside a group of like-minded people to deliver high quality programmes and experiences, in order for young people to learn SkillsForLife
