Sections

Scout members (boys and girls) are grouped into different units that relate to their age groups and scouting experiences.

Beavers

5-7 yrs

Beavers are our youngest members. They enjoy all that Scouting has to offer; being introduced to outdoor activities, having the opportunity to be creative, explore their local community and experience the excitement of making friends.

The Beaver Colony is the first and youngest section of the Scout Group. Beaver Scouts are young people aged between 5 and 7 years old.

During their time in the Colony, Beaver Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities as well as going on trips, days out, and on sleepovers. Participation, rather than meeting set standards, is the key approach, and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Beaver Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.

Cubs

7-11 yrs

For Cubs, excitement and adventure are key. Their programme offers a huge variety of activities surrounding areas of fitness, global and beliefs; whilst allowing them to be creative and get involved in their local communities. Cubs are introduced to exciting outdoor skills and take part in adventurous activities, as well as camps and residential experiences.

The Cub Pack is the second section of the Scout Group following on from Beavers. Cub Scouts are young people aged between 7 and 11

A Cub Pack is usually organised into small groups called Sixes, each headed up by an older Cub called a Sixer, and often with a Seconder as well. Sixes can be used in a number of ways to facilitate the organization of the Cub Scout Pack.

During their time in the Pack, Cub Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities as well as going on trips, days out, and on camps. Participation and personal development, rather than meeting set standards, is the key approach, and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Cub Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.

Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts

11-16 yrs

Scouts aims to build and develop young people’s confidence, sense of adventure and outdoor skills, as well as encouraging them to explore their beliefs and attitudes and be creative. It offers them the independence to put these skills into practice at camps and even on international trips.

Scouts are encouraged to work together and take the lead on all sorts of projects, from community based work to planning games and activities for their meetings.

The Scout Troop is the third section in the Scout Group, above Beavers and Cubs. The Scout Section is for young people (males and females) aged between 11 and 16 years.

A Scout Troop is divided into small groups called Patrols, each headed up by an older Scout called a Patrol Leader, and often with an Assistant Patrol Leader.

Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme including traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking, as well as a wider spectrum of adventurous activities, from abseiling to zorbing. Participation rather than meeting set standards is the key approach, and there are a number of badges and awards that Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.

Rovers and Pioneers

16-18 yrs

With the support, direction and guidance of Unit leaders, Rovers & Pioneers are encouraged to lead themselves, design their own program and work towards the top awards that Scouting offers. With exciting prospects like being a part of camps and expeditions both home and abroad; adventurous activities such as mountaineering, parascending and off shore sailing; Rovers & Pioneers offers fun and adventure for all. Rovers & Pioneers also have the opportunity to be a part of The Leaders’ Scheme which develops their leadership skills and sense of responsibility, by helping to run meetings for younger sections.

Rovers & Pioneers Units are the fourth Section of the Scouting family after Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. Rovers & Pioneers are young people aged between 16 and 18 years old.

Rovers & Pioneers are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their program including traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking, as well as a wider spectrum of adventurous activities.

The Rovers & Pioneers program should be supplemented and complemented by events and activities delivered across the district, organization and community allowing them the opportunity to socialize and work with other local Rovers & Pioneers Units.

In addition, there are a number of activity badges and ambitious top awards that Rovers & Pioneers Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.
