The Scout Section is for young people aged 10 - 15 years. The section aims to develop skills in team building and problem solving as well as developing traditional scouting skills in orienteering, map reading, camping and survival. The range of activities does not stop here you can participate in anything from water sports to climbing.
The international aspect gives Scouting a special appeal and many Scouts now travel abroad during their time in the Section. In 2007 40,000 Scouts from around the World attended the World Jamboree in the UK, and Scouts regularly participate in International camps and experiences both on home soil and abroad, each of them a unique experience in its own right.
Scouting is about being with friends, as part of a team, participating fully in the adventure and opportunities of life.
