Our Scout meetings are fun and interactive; we focus on developing new skills, knowledge and confidence, with age appropriate activities, such as mini hikes, water activity days, crafts, experiments, camps and many more exciting things.

Scouts also have a greater say in what they do each week as well as the badges that they want to do
These include:

• Scout Activity Badges – There is a badge for almost any activty and insterest you could possilby think of. There are over 70 activty badges open to Scouts. From an interst in angling to cooking, Martial Arts, circus skills to Water activites there is a badge or 10 that you will find interesting to you. You can complete these badges outside of the normal meeting so your other clubs and interests can help you achieve Scout badges.
• Scouting Staged Badges – these are badges that can be earned in all sections and cover such areas as Swimming, hiking, camping and music.
• Scout Challenge Badges – The nine badges are: Adventure, World, Creative, Expedition, Outdoor, Personal, Skills, Team Leader and Teamwork.
• Chief Scouts Gold Award – This is the highest Award in the Scout section, it is achievable for most who join the Scouts and work hard to try new challanges. You will need to complete the nine Scout Challenge badges and six activity badges.
