Our Scout Troop
“Scouting has given me a fantastic opportunity to do lots of activities and things that people who are not in Scouts don’t get to do. It’s about having fun with good friends.”
Our Scout Troop gives young people a great space to build and develop confidence, sense of adventure and outdoor skills, as well as encourage them to explore their beliefs and attitudes and be creative. It offers them the independence to put these skills into practice at camps and even international trips. In the last few years the Troop has been away to Jersey, Dublin, Holland and Switzerland.
Our Scouts are encouraged to work together and take the lead on all sorts of projects, from community based work to planning games and activities for their meetings. Scouts are also given responsibility, with older Scouts performing Patrol and Assistant Patrol leader roles.
The Troop take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme including traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking, as well as a wider spectrum of adventurous activities, from abseiling to zorbing. Participation rather than meeting set standards is the key approach, and there are a number of badges and awards that Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.
