Scouts Section

Our Scouts meet every Monday during term time from 7.30 pm to 9.00 pm

When young people join Scouts

Scouts are a go-getting group of young people. Being a Scout is all about discovering the world on your own terms and making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.

Alongside your new friends, you'll master the skills that will help you weather the storms of life, and try things you'd never get the chance to do at home or at school, working with trained volunteers to achieve whatever you set your mind to.

What do Scouts do?

Week in and week out, they gather in groups called Scout Troops to conquer the small task of changing the world. They stand up for what they believe in and make a difference on their doorstops, confident in the knowledge that their daily actions add up.

In a society that can often feel increasingly isolated and inward facing, Scouts build bridges and break barriers. Throughout history, they've played all sorts of useful roles in society, and this legacy continues today.

• Master new skills and try new things
• Make new friends
• Have fun and go on adventures, at home and abroad
• Explore the world around them
• Help others and make a difference, in their own communities and beyond

Lots of other activities working towards badges that represent the scout values.

Listening in, lending a hand

Scouts seek out the answers to the big questions, and to the smaller questions that don't seem to matter but really should. Most importantly, they say yes more often than they say no, whether they're taking part in their first ever camp away from home, or writing their first line of code, or accepting the last of the toasted marshmallows.
Sounds like fun? Yes that's because it is and all that's missing is you.

Helping Others

Scouts work as a team to help other people. Together, you'll learn about global issues and what we can all do to help solve them. You'll also make an impact in your own community, through activities such as campaigning to save your local library, collecting donations for a foodbank, or planting trees in a neighbouring park.

How to join us

In the first instance, complete the small enquiry form below.
Lots of young people are itching to join Scouts, so you might need to wait for a space to become available. If you have any questions about accessibility, it's best to chat with your local leader as soon as possible. By being upfront about additional needs from the start, parents/carers can work in partnership with local leaders to make sure their young person has the best experience possible.

If there is a waiting list at the time of enquiry, parents and other adults might want to think about what they could do to help out. Regardless of skillset or availability, there's an opportunity for everyone to contribute.
