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