Scouts

Scouts (10½ -14 years old)

Each Scout Troop consists of small units of six to eight Scouts called a Patrol, usually led by a Patrol Leader. Outdoor activities feature prominently, with the highlight being camping. 

Throughout the year, Scouts learn various skills, such as map reading, camp cooking and first aid in preparation for camp.

Rock climbing, potholing, gliding, photography and international experiences are just some of the things they get up to.

Scouts meet at the Newtown Jubilee Scout Hall on Park Lane (along the footpath opposite the police station) on Thursdays.

The group is a member of the Scout Association, a worldwide organisation who's aim is
to encourage the physical, mental and spiritual development of young people.

Scouts, Cubs and Beavers are required to wear uniform which may be purchased from the Scout Shop.

 All members of the Scout Movement are required to adhere to a Scout Promise and a Law reflecting, in language appropriate to the culture and civilization of each National Scout Organization and approved by the World Organization, the principles of Duty to God, Duty to others and Duty to self, and inspired by the Promise and Law conceived by the Founder of the Scout Movement, Baden Powell.
