A balanced program helps the boys and girls learn more skills encouraging them to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit. We have our very own qualified instructors for canoeing, hill walking and archery. Weekend camps are a regular event.
Scouts belong to the Scout Troop with the youngsters split into Patrols. The Patrol is a vital part of the Troop, with many of the activities planned and carried out in the Patrol. The Patrol is led by a Patrol Leader who represents the members of his Patrol at the “Patrol Leaders Forum”. This helps develop a sense of responsibility within the individuals, and an appreciation for the needs of others,
