Scouts
Scouts (10
½–14)
The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between 10½ and 14 years. A young person can come into the Troop at 10 and may stay until they are 14½ years old
. The Scout Troop is the third section in the Scout Group, above Beavers and Cubs.
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, 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.
Rock climbing, potholing, gliding, photography and international experiences are just some of the things they get up to.
The Promise & Law
When a scout is invested into the troop they are required to make the scout promise (There are alternative versions available for different beliefs). By making the promise the scout is agreeing to keep to the scout law.
