Sections
Aged between 6 and 8, Beaver Scouts are the youngest section in Scouting. The focus is on having fun and making new friends. There are opportunities to earn badges while trying out new activities including making things, playing games, meeting new people, going on visits and staying away from home on camps and sleepovers.
We have a Beaver Scout Colony in the Group. They meet on a Wednesday evening at Burnside Primary School between 6 pm and 7 pm - find out more here!
Cub Scouts are aged between 8 and 10½. They meet in a Pack which is divided up into Sixes. The older Cubs are expected to take on responsibility for running parts of the meeting and helping to think of programme ideas. At Cubs the focus is on adventure: they go camping, try out various activities, visit new places and meet all sorts of different people. There are lots of Challenge Awards and Activity Badges to complete, offering something for everyone.
We have a Cub Pack in the Group, meeting on a Monday evening between 6.30 pm and 8 pm at Shanklea Primary School - find out more here!
The Scout Section is for young people aged between 10½ and 14. The Scout Troop is the final Section in the Scout Group. As a Scout you can take part in a wide range of activities. Scouts is all about finding out about the world we live in, knowing your own abilities, keeping fit and developing creative talents. It’s also important to explore your own values and personal attitudes.
