SCOUTS 10.5. - 14 YEARS OLD
Each Scout Troop consists of small units of six to eight Scouts called a Patrol, usually led by a Patrol Leader. Outdoor activities feature prominently in the Scout Troop, with the highlight being camping. Throughout the year, Scouts learn various skills, such as map-reading, camp cooking and first aid in preparation for camp.
There are also other adventurous activities such as rock-climbing, pioneering, orienteering, potholing, gliding, sub-aqua and international experiences to enjoy.
MONDAYS 6:15pm - 8pm
UNIFORM
Scouts wear a teal green shirt or blouse, navy blue activity trousers or skirt, and a Group scarf. This is available to buy in most school uniform shops and online at the Scout Shop. Above you can check out where to sew on the different badges and awards. If you have any questions you can always ask your leader!
Promise & Scout Law
Promise
Every Scout is unique, but they find common ground in their shared Scout values, and make a promise to stick by them. Making a promise when you join the Troop is a way of celebrating these values. Every time a new Scout decides to join, they chat through their promise with their leader before saying it out loud in front of their fellow Scouts.
The process usually takes place once you’ve had a few weeks to settle in, and is known as being ‘invested’ into Scouts. Usually, the promise ceremony happens in a place you’ve chosen, or in a memorable place that means a lot to the group.
It could be held in your usual meeting place, perhaps around the campfire, or it even on a boat sailing the seven seas. Regardless, it’s a big celebration for all involved, and it’s not uncommon for family and friends to join your fellow Scouts as they cheer you on. Below you can choose your promise.
