Scouts (age 10 1/2 – 14)

Scouts, are the fourth section of the Scout movement and meet in Troops.

With the emphasis on adventurous activities, action and involvement, Scouting means more than just camping! Hiking, rock climbing, gliding, sailing, pioneering, canoeing, parascending, abseiling, first aid, motor mechanics, electronics, amateur radio and photography are just some of the things they do.
