So you think you know Scouting?
The aim of Scouting is to develop young people to their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential. Scouts should be able to learn new skills by taking part in fun and exciting activities in the air, on land or in water.
Outdoor fun
Young people should experience lots of practical outdoor activities such as camping, woodcraft, water sports, hiking, games and backpacking. These can be undertaken as part of a group on a local, national or international scale.
Technology and crafts
There are loads of opportunities to develop skills in technology and creativity. Young people can try out activities such as computing, electronics, amateur radio, dance, music, art and crafts.
Badges
Scouts can earn activity badges to be added to their uniform as a way of recognising people who have learnt a new
skill or taken part in an activity for a period of time. There are 12 for Beavers, 35 for Cubs and 70 for Scouts. Activities include astronomy, circus skills, martial arts, parascending and street sports.
General
Scouts usually meet on one evening during the week, although they may also go to camps and other days out throughout the year. Whilst the activities they take part in will depend on their age, each Section gives young people
the opportunity to learn by doing. The main programme areas are:
Outdoor and Adventure
Global; Community
Fit for Life
Creative
Beliefs and Attitudes.
Scout Leaders are trained to deliver this programme, ensuring our young people stay safe while they enjoy themselves and learn.
