Scouting - Preparing young people with skills for life
Scouts is where young people make new friends, have amazing adventures, and learn new skills.
The purpose of Scouting is to contribute to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potentials as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities.
There are opportunities to go on adventure days, camping including family camp, hiking, swimming, abseiling, kayaking, as well as hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges.
Everyone’s welcome here. All genders, races and backgrounds and regardless of your child’s physical ability.
While Scouting is the largest youth organization in the world, all the leaders and helpers are volunteers, giving up countless hours of their free time for the development and enjoyment of the young people.
Scouting is a uniformed organisation and all children and young people are expected to wear the appropriate uniform.
