Scouts

The Scout Section is for boys and girls aged between 10 ½ and 14 years of age. Scouts continue to build on their previous experience, with more ambitious projects. There is continued emphasis on teamwork with the boys and girls working in small groups called Patrols under the leadership of a Patrol Leader. A good programme with regular camping will help the Scouts gain confidence in their own ability, teach them self-sufficiency and the importance of looking out for and helping each other. The badge scheme is intended to extend the youngsters and in cases where a skill is normally developed over a period of time, e.g. swimming, music etc, there are staged levels to suit the different ages. The Chief Scout's Gold Award is the badge that all Scouts should aim for.

There are 12 Scout Troops in Eastwood District.
