Scout Section Information

Who are Scouts?

Scouts are young people aged between 10½ and 14 years who are members of the Scout Association. They meet together, and they work in small groups called patrols, which form part of the troop. The troop is supervised by a team of leaders and helpers who plan and run the programme.

What do Scouts wear?

Scouts now wear a green shirt (blue for Sea Scouts), with navy blue activity trousers or shorts. A Scout also wears the group scarf.

On My Honour, I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God and to the Queen,
To help other people
And to keep the Scout Law
