What is Scouts? Scouting encourages the development of Young People and Improvement of society through Fun, Friendship, Adventure and Challenge In Scouts: Young people join Scouting to be part of a network of young people committed to make a difference in their local, national and international communities. Adolescents are offered a wide range of activities which challenge them and help them to engage fully in civil society.
Young people take increasing responsibility for the planning and delivery of their own programme Young people work in small groups, called patrols The youth programme for adolescents offers opportunities for young people to prepare their ‘life-plan’ and develop ‘life-skills’.
Young people are coached and assisted in developing the skills to participate in decision-making and encouraged to use these skills in Scouting and in society. Young people are supported and guided by adult volunteers on their journey of self-education.
Cub Scouts is for youths aged from 9-12 and it’s a great way to make loads of new friends and have a whole lotta fun too!
Cubs usually meet once a week in the local scout den but thats only half the story! About once a month, the pack may go hiking, swimming, camping, to the cinema or wherever you wanna go! That the cool thing about Cubs, you help decide what the pack does and when now where else will you get that kinda input!
Each cub pack runs on what we like to call the “gang system”.
Each pack is broken into smaller groups called sixes and each six has a leader called a sixer no, not an adult, a kid just like you! With the help of the sixers, the Scouters in the group plan exciting activities and games for you to take part in its great!
Beavers are aged 6-9 and they have lots of fun. They too go away on overnights and have great fun and exploring a new way of making new friends.
Quotations From Lord Robert Baden-Powell
Founder of Scouting
The secret of sound education is to get each pupil to learn for himself. instead of instructing him by driving knowledge into him on a stereotyped system.
It is the Patrol System that makes the Troop, and all Scouting for that matter, a real co-operative matter.
We never fail when we try to do our duty, we always fail when we neglect to do it.
Leave this world a little better than you found it.
