Scouts Our Scout Troop take young people from the age of 10 ½ to 14. The Scouts meet on Friday evenings, monthly subs are £12.50. Their uniform is a teal coloured shirt, navy trousers and our Group Kneckerchief. What don’t Scouts do? At this age, we encourage girls and boys to take responsibility for themselves and each other, with older members leading a small team. They like being with friends and participating fully in the adventure of life.

They joined the rest of the Group roller skating and the majority of the Scouts completed their Scientist and Chef Badges. In May the Scouts had fun on camp with the rest of the Group at Trac where they enjoyed rowing, paddle boarding, pedal karts, zip wire and lots more. One evening the Scouts taught the Cubs emergency aid. They have also enjoyed a kayaking session on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. For the last session of July they joined the Cubs in a wide game and campfire. You can find out more information about the Scouts badges on the national Scout website.
