Scouts are young people aged 10 1/2 to 14 years old. the Scout troop is the third and final Section in the Scout Group. the Scout section follows on from the Cub Pack. Scouts move onto an Explorer Scout Section at the age of 14.

Scouts meet on a Friday evening between 19:30 - 21:30

Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme. "Participation" rather than meeting set standards is the key approach. Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out more about the world in which they live, encourages them to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their creative talents. It also provides opportunities to explore their own values and personal attitudes.
