Scouting for 10½–14 year olds

Scouts is where independence kicks in. Expeditions, summer camps, hikes, pioneering, water activities — Scouts plan and lead more of what they do, in patrols, with leaders there to back them up.

The programme builds towards the Chief Scout’s Gold Award and sets Scouts up for Explorers, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and beyond.

What Scouts get up to

• Summer camp and expedition weekends
• Hiking, pioneering and navigation
• Water activities and adventurous sports
• Leading in patrols and mentoring younger members
