Scouts (10½ to 14 years)
Scouts are young people aged 10½ to 14 years, meeting weekly in a group called a Scout Troop. Scouts take on bigger adventures, develop real skills and begin to make a genuine difference in the world around them.
What do Scouts get up to?
- 🏕️ Camping, kayaking and water sports
- 🎯 Archery, abseiling and climbing
- 🗺️ Navigation, survival and outdoor skills
- 🌍 Community projects and making a real difference
- 💻 Coding, digital skills and creative challenges
- 🚀 Developing leadership and lifelong confidence
Skills and character
Scouts discover the world on their own terms. Working alongside trained volunteer leaders, they master skills for life — from outdoor craft to teamwork, leadership and problem-solving. They stand up for what they believe in, take on community challenges, and say yes more often than they say no.
Badges and Awards
Scouts can earn dozens of activity badges — from aviation and electronics to cooking and emergency aid. They work towards Challenge Awards covering adventure, community, creative and outdoors, with the Chief Scout’s Gold Award as the highest honour in Scouts.
