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.

Being a Scout

Joining us allows you to make lots of new friends, join in with fun activities, become adventurous, push your boundaries, and explore the world around you. It helps to improve confidence, problem solving skills, emotional resilience and communication skills – Skills For Life.

Scouting values

The Scout section is a core part of the scout group. They participate in a huge range of activities, games, sleepovers and camps.

After joining, Scouts make a promise and become invested into the group. You’ll be invited to watch this special occasion.

Registering

We operate a waiting list and encourage young people to join this list as soon as possible -this can be done by going to the ‘Join Us’ form. As soon as space becomes available we will notify you by text and email, giving you full instructions on the next steps.

Subscriptions

As a group we need to cover the cost of equipment, resources and running costs. We keep these as low as possible. We charge £8 per month and £6 per month for siblings, all year round (12 monthly payment). Payments can be made by cash, card or preferably a recurring PayPal payment.

Weekly meetings

We meet at Temple Park Centre, 197 Harborough Avenue, S2 1QT

Scout sessions are Thursdays term time. Meetings start at 7:15pm and finish at 8:45pm.

Uniform and awards

Scouts wear a green shirt and our group necker. Our shirts give us space to sew on all of our badges and awards.

Each week we work towards a range of different badges through activities, both indoor and outdoor, along with games, challenges and having fun. Badges are given out at regular intervals and sewn onto our shirts.

Leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers, working to make sure Scouting is safe and open to all. Some lead sessions week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills.

Every adult member dedicates many hours each week to ensure your young person has a great time and learn skills that will benefit them for life. Further information about our leaders can be found on the ‘About’ page
