We currently have around 80 members aged between 6 and 18 as well as a team of adult volunteers. The guide below gives a short introduction to Scouting at our group and how to get involved if what we do interests you.
What is Scouting?
Scouting offers challenge and adventure to 400,000 young people and 100,000 adults across the UK. We believe in helping our members fulfill their potential by working in teams, learning by doing and thinking for themselves. We give people of every background the chance to stretch themselves, learn new skills and make life-long friends.
What type of activities will I get to take part in?
As well as the more traditional scout activities such as pioneering, caving, climbing and hiking; we give our members the chance to go kayaking, sailing, canoeing, power boating and gig rowing as part of their programme. Members often find they have a passion towards one or more of the activities we have introduced them to and want to take it further. Scouting is a great way to meet others and learn valuable life skills.
Is there a waiting list?
Some of our sections have waiting lists and we can’t guarantee immediate membership. Where places are to be allocated the following criteria will be used:
- Children of current leaders/instructors and helpers
- Movement within the group (e.g. a Beaver moving up to the Cub section)
- Siblings of existing members
- Length of time on waiting list
- Age
