What do Scouts do?

“Beginning to see how I fit in"

If you’re a go-getter with lots of energy you’ll feel right at home. Individuality sets the foundation. You’ll conquer the world when you meet in your Scout Troop each week or month. Scouts are all about discovering the worlds around them, on their own terms, and making the most of it. You’ll not only master skills but make friends and learn how to go with the flow and adapt to whatever obstacle comes your way.

Self-discovery in on the menu

When you become a Scout, you become a part of a Troop where you’ll learn to weather the storms of life. Scouts stand up for they believe in and make a difference wherever they may roam. They build bridges and break barriers!

Scouting your way through life
Through your journey as a Scout you’ll find yourself seeking out the answers to big questions and answering them. You’ll work with trained volunteers to achieve goals set and overcome boundaries.

The Scout Promise

On my honour, I promise to do my best To love and serve God, my country and the King To help people, and obey the Scout law.

Who leads Scouts

A Scout Troop is led by adult volunteers who have been trained to guide the group and share their own skills. Scout leaders are sometimes given the traditional nicknames of Skip or Skipper in association with the name give to a ship’s captain. 

Within the Troops, you’ll find Patrols which are smaller groups of Scouts who look out for each other. The Patrols will gather at the start and end of Troop meetings, also on expeditions or key activities you’ll find them huddled together.
