Scouting … Helping young people get the most out of life #SkillForLife

Scouting is open to all, boys and girls, aged 4 – 25 years. There are six sections for young people in the Scout movement that provide exciting opportunities tailored to the different age groups.

Weekly meetings, weekend events, and longer camps offer a wide range of activities from IT to Kayaking. Scouting is about joining in, making friends, having fun, giving of your best, gaining badges, and growing in confidence.

4 and 5 years

We’re starting a new provision for four and five year olds called Squirrels, to help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it’s most needed.

6 to 8 years

Try new things. Make new friends. Joining Beavers is just the beginning of your big adventure.

Cubs – 8 to 10½ years

Develop new skills. Soar to great heights. Being a Cub opens up a whole other world.

Scouts – 10½ to 14 years

Jump in and get muddy. Give back and get set. Scouts ignore the butterflies and go for it, and soon so will you.

Explorers – 14 to 18 years

Try more. See more. Do more. At Explorers, you’ll stand on your own two feet, and make memories to last a lifetime.

Network – 18 to 25 years

Try more. See more. Do more. At Scout Network, you’ll stand on your own two feet, and make memories to last a lifetime.
